Spamhaus - "Deliver No Spam"
Exclusive North America Sales & Support for Spamhaus
Spamhaus is an international spam monitoring and spam blocking service that blocks email from confirmed spam sources. Relied on by thousands of organizations across the globe, Spamhaus is the #1 rated block list — the highest accuracy and lowest false positives.
- SBL Spamhaus Block List – contains IP addresses that are controlled by known spammers.
- XBL Exploits Block List – contains IP addresses of virus-compromised computers that are sending spam.
- PBL Policy Block List – contains IP addresses that should not be delivering unauthenticated SMTP email.

How Spamhaus Works
As a subscriber to the Spamhaus DataFeed Service, you get a continuous feed from the three block lists. When an SMTP connection is made to one of your servers, before the email is accepted, these block lists are checked. If the sender is on the list, the SMTP connection is not accepted – spammers are blocked from even entering your messaging network.
