Realtime block lists

This filter is valid for the following senders: External. The default SCL value with single multiplier depends on the lists selected in the filter. The SCL points set in the list are assigned per hit.

This filter checks whether an address entry exists in realtime block lists. You can select multiple block lists. Since even the best lists can contain false positives, you should always use several lists. Since every hit is counted as a penalty point, the risk of emails being blocked by a false positive based on a single blacklist is minimised.
