Lots of spam coming through

I’m getting increasing amounts of spam coming through into my inbox, stuff which I think would be fixed by Runbox adding URIBL checks to its SpamAssassin filters. As I described in my latest post here:

Spamassassin blacklist checks missing?

Hi @bingobingolotto and welcome to the forum. We’ve discussed rspamd before and its something we keep under review in case it could help. At the moment we’re reasonably happy with our spam scanning. There are always possible improvements and what works for one account may not work for another. Just as a general update of this topic… we did implement some URIBL checks with some mixed results. There are some websites with dubious marketing tactics that some customers want to receive emails from…
