I just checked the all the spammy domains found on tonight's surge of spams that hit NANOG ...I checked them at http://multirbl.valli.org to see *which* DNS blacklists had each domain in the clickable link of each spam blacklisted. I did that check about an hour after those were sent, which was went I sat down at my computer and saw that.
Here are the results:

As shown, I was happy to see that my own ivmURI blacklist was 21 for 21, and nothing else came close to that. (I also verified that ALL of the ivmURI listings happened BEFORE those spams were sent to NANOG).
Keep in mind... this isn't a true measure of any one of those domain blacklists' overall effectiveness since this is just one tiny metric of one small type of very sneaky spam. So please don't think I'm trying to say that ivmURI is a replacement for SpamHaus' DBL list or SURBL or URIBL, etc... because those lists do likewise catch some spammy domains that ivmURI misses or hadn't gotten to yet. But it was still very satisfying to see this success. If it would help, I'll be happy to provide the operator of NANOG complementary access if so desired.
PS - if the "hits" on other blacklists for these domains suddenly expands, that would be due to added listings which happened AFTER those spams were sent to the NANOG list. (and after I did this check)
oops. "all" didn't really mean "all". I had mistakenly though that I was getting all of them and that I was bypassing all spam filtering for NANOG messages. Turns out, I was instead doing minimal filtering... so that caused most of them to be blocked in my spam filtering. Then I ran those stats on what was really a small subset of the ones that slipped past that minimal level of filtering i was using on NANOG message. So my sample set may not have been representative of the whole. Sorry for the confusion.
