Why Virbl?

Why would you use Virbl?

Many ISP's use Virbl. Why? Because it saves them a lot of virusscanning, and so it saves them a lot of CPU-cycles. For instance, see the graphs below:

Questions asked at the Virbl nameserver
NS Graph
Connections refused at mx1.bit.nl, an Virbl-user
MX Graph

See how these graphs match? The dropped connections figure, is the number of connections refused per second!
