   * **SpamCop**: Very accurate prediction algorithms, resulting in a near perfect rating when it comes to not blocking good mail, and an above average score for canning actual spam. Conservatively blocks CIDR ranges.

   * **FiveTen**: Requires double opt-in list management for hosts. Blocks entire CIDR ranes (/24 and larger) quite liberally, resulting in on average twice the amount of good mail lost than actual spam blocked.

-  * **ivmSIP**: This includes ivmSIP/24, which is a CIDR-block list similar to that of FiveTen. According to list maintainer Rob McEwen: "only my subscribers use my data, and most of them either don't use ivmSIP/24, or use that list for scoring instead of blocking." Although ivmSIP is listed as a public DNSBL, as per the list maintainer, being listed here is going to have little impact on mail deliverability.+  * **ivmSIP**: This includes ivmSIP/24, which is a CIDR-block list similar to that of FiveTen.

 The best methods for staying off blacklists in general is to maintain a tight rein on users on your mailing/distribution lists and provide an easy way to opt-out of future mailings. Lists purchased from email harvesters are a sure-fire way to land yourself on most major blacklists and furthermore is in violation of our AUP. Best practice is to gather subscribers based on a double opt-in process, publish SPF and DKIM records, and ensure you have valid and matching forward and reverse DNS records.
