Myself, I have found ORDB (note: *not* ORBS) to be very fair and have a low
false-positive rate, and routinely use it on all incoming mail. Also, I
have had relatively good results with Spamhaus SBL.
My public E-mail addresses I use for Usenet and post on my web pages are
checked against additional, more "aggressive" lists, such as DSBL Multihop
and Spamhaus SBL/XBL. So far I have not had any false positives on these
either, although I accept the additional risk with these more intolerant
services. On the other hand, the signal:noise ratio on those addresses is
much, much lower.
