Hi Hervé,

Relay Mail you should _not_ be getting -- Exim is by default,
like most MTAs, closed for open relay.

One list which tends to be relatively well seen, is SpamHaus,
and they are free:

http://www.spamhaus.org/

They have a couple of lists, one of which is sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org.

It's a composite of other lists, and some find it too aggressive,
but you can always white list sites that get caught.
