What Are The Benefits?

As a MailCleaner option, Spamhaus Content-base blacklists Data Feeds offer higher performance for our clients through faster updates and resulting fresher data. Freshness matters since the threat behavior is often highly dynamic, so Data Feed users can expect higher detection rates and lower false negatives.

How Does It Work?

Websites seen in unsolicited messages tend to be more stable than the rapidly changing botnet IP addresses used to send the vast majority of them. Sender lists like Spamhaus SBL can be used in a first stage filter to help identify a majority of unsolicited messages, but Spamhaus Content-base blacklists can help find unsolicited messages in a second stage filter.

It also contains data from multiple sources that cover sites hosting malware or cracked sites and list of domain names with poor reputations.
