Setup local rbl for my server

Hi

Actually, i receive 750 000 mails/days on my server, for best
performance, i have a local Dccd server and now i want

Anyone know what is the best rbl list that i can mirror in local ?
i can put more rbl list on my dns server ?

with email adress ? for sample:
       spammeur@domaine.com

Yes to all of the above.  For that much mail volume you should
set up your own rbldnsd server.  It can serve multiple zones
easily.  It can be on old celeron, Pentium 3, etc.

You can also create your own local RBL that way.  Just look at
the format of the rbldnsd zone files and copy it with a new list
name.

One problem is that SpamAssassin uses a lot of different RBLs,
so in principle you would need to sign up for a lot of them.
Or you could just zero out the low-scoring lists and serve the
higher performing ones locally like the spamhaus lists.

To sign up for zone file access for the different RBLs you'll
need to check their web sites.

If it helps, see the rbldnsd references, howtos, faqs, etc., at:
