It's a combination of several things. Mostly honeypot but also hosts
that do things only spam hosts do like try to spoof my domains in helo
and helo with ip addresses, etc. And - I first make sure that the IP
isn't white or yellow listed before adding it.

BTW - if anyone wants to try my white list, here's the code:

warn    dnslists = dnswl.junkemailfilter.com
    !condition = ${if match {$acl_c1}{white}}
    set acl_c1 = yellow - $sender_fullhost


warn    dnslists = dnswl.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.1
    set acl_c1 = white-soft - dnswl - $sender_fullhost


A 127.0.0.1 means it can be trusted and should be accepted as ham
without further testing. If it returns 127.0.0.2 then that means that it
sends some ham and you should bypass all blacklists.
