Ok, I use a few free "Blacklist" sites to remove spam from my server.
Recently I have had issues where they have blocked Yahoo, gmail, hotmail and others.
I use/have used:
dnsbl.njabl.org
opm.blitzed.org
taiwan.blackholes.us
dun.dnsrbl.net
relays.ordlb.org
Relays.visi.com
list.dsbl.org
If you run your own email server, what do you use for blacklists?

xerotic: Two more items reviewed... I was bored and infected
XoftSpy Adware/Malware removal
http://www.paretologic.com/products.aspx
If you're in the market for a removal tool that's, in my opinion, clearly superior to the free removal tools like Ad-Aware, this is it. I shelled out the cash for it while my computer was being blasted by a few trojans and worms, just because my last paid remover ran out of contract. This utility was super fast, and picked up things that have likely been there for longer than I'd realized. It was very complete, and extremely easy to use. As a testament, I ran two free and one paid removal tool before this one, and it still picked up over 60 items of "Annoyance" level to "Major Threat". I was impressed, and figure it was worth my $40 after the research I put into it. Take that as you will.
TuneUp Utilities 2004
http://www.tune-up.com/
So yeah, it says 2004. There isn't a 2005 version from what I can see. It is, however, a 30 day free trial if you're so inclined. It's got some decent analysis and repair tools to it, and if you're not a Windows junkie, this can be a big help. Most people don't have (or want to deal with) msconfig.exe, and sometimes it's just cumbersome actually dealing with start-up processes, memory management, and registry cleaning. This utility does it pretty easily. Now, I'm not sure I'd shell out cash for this one just yet without looking around, but if you're in need of something quick and easy (or just want to check on your startup processes and/or registry), this is a cheap fix. The registry cleaner on here was both fast and accurate, and didn't pull anything that didn't need to come out.

xerotic: A handy utility - Security Task Manager
http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/index.html - Security Task Manager
I've actually shared this one with a few less savvy computer folks, and they've been very happy with its ease of use and functionality. For me, it's just a handy tool when I want to see where a process originates from, as it expounds on the typical Windows Task Manager. If you like it enough to pay for it, it has a number of interesting features once it's unlocked as well.
Figured I'd toss it out there after the most recent rave review.

Top 12 Things A Klingon Programmer Would Say
12 Specifications are for the weak and timid!
11 This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors if
I am to do battle with this code!
10 You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the
original Klingon.
9 Indentation?! -- I will show you how to indent when I indent your
skull!
8 What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software
'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and
quality assurance people in its wake.
7 Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' -- they have
'arguments' -- and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
6 Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle
the weak.
5 We have challenged the entire quality assurance team to a
Bat-Leth contest. They will not concern us again.
4 TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!
3 Filing this SPR you have challenged the honor of my family.
Prepare to die!
2 You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where
you stand!
1 Our users will know fear and cower before our software. Ship it!
Ship it, and let them flee like the dogs they are!
