We’re now using the dbl.spamhaus.org blocklist
We recently added the Spamhaus Domain Block List (dbl.spamhaus.org) to our spam filters.
The Domain Block List is an extremely reliable list of domain names that are used only in spam. Blocking most mail that advertises these domain names improves our spam filtering: we’re now blocking about 1% more spam as a result.
That may not sound like much, but it represents about 150 more blocked spam messages per year for each customer. (We block an average of over 15,000 spam messages per year per customer.)

Glad to know that you take spam seriously and you separate mail server from http server. Unlike many Cpanel hosting has, They put the eggs in one basket. LOL. I can only see a few web hosting providers do that.
Btw, unrelated to the post above, but reluctant to send support email, I want to ask whether we should create default email address like (posmaster,hostmaster,abuse,etc)@(domain-name).(com/net/org/etc)? I saw somewhere said about that…

For the record, please do always send a support e-mail so we can make sure your question is answered properly — blog comments aren’t a guaranteed support method, and we don’t want you to feel ignored.

Yes, you’re welcome to create those kinds of “role addresses” for your e-mail service with us. Doing so is a good idea (“best practice”), although we leave it up to you.
