sbl is excellent, the cn and kr lists catch the occasional mass-spam though, so I keep them.
I take it back, cluecentral hasn't had a hit in over 30 days, probably because it went off line last November.
I really should pay more attention to these things, but I get so little spam anymore with sbl-xbl and greylisting that it hardly seems to matter.
Which points up an important fact: once you start using external resources for spam control, you need to pay attention to their status.

You don't want to be on the user end of such a tactic, as it means rejecting all mail until you notice it.
