The SenderBase Reputation Service (http://www.senderbase.org) provides an
accurate, flexible way for users to reject or throttle suspected spam based on the
connecting IP address of the remote host. The SenderBase Reputation Service
returns a score based on the probability that a message from a given source is
spam. The SenderBase Reputation Service is unique in that it provides a global
view of email message volume and organizes the data in a way that makes it easy
to identify and group related sources of email. IronPort strongly suggests that you
enable SenderBase Reputation Filtering.
