Hi,
 For my mail I use at SMTP time RBL/clamav and afterwards 
MailScanner/Spamassassin.

With clamav (clamav-milter in sendmail) I use extra signatures from:
MSRBL-Images - http://www.msrbl.com/site/msrblimagesdownload
MSRBL-SPAM - http://www.msrbl.com/site/msrblspamdownload
SaneSecurity Phishing Signatures - 
http://www.sanesecurity.com/clamav/downloads.htm
SaneSecurity Scam Signatures - 
http://www.sanesecurity.com/clamav/downloads.htm

The RBLs I use are:
combined.rbl.msrbl.net
bl.spamcop.net
list.dsbl.org
sbl.spamhaus.org
cbl.abuseat.org

These are mostly picked due to how easy it is to get off the list and how 
much trust *I* give them as sources.

MSRBL is my baby so if anyone else uses it I'd be interested to hear how it 
works or doesn't for them.

Chris.
