Thanks for the heads up.  I checked yesterday's log, and every single
message flagged by OSSOFT was clearly spam.  So far, none of my customers
have complained about me "BOUNCING" it.

Before we had the BOUNCE and ALERT features, I was very conservative and
found RBL and DUL to be suitable for "HOLD".  Now, that declude sends a
notification to the occasional (if every) legitimate sender, I have been
rather aggressive - without a single user complaint so far:

RBL                     BOUNCE
DUL                     BOUNCE
RSS                     BOUNCE
ORDB                    BOUNCE
OSDUL                   BOUNCE
OSSOFT          BOUNCE
BADHEADERS              BOUNCE
REVDNS          ALERT


I use the following bounce template:

Importance: Low


I highly advise everyone not to use OSSOFT for the holding or deleting of
messages.  For one, they use several databases that aren't managed very
well.  One example is this one:

xbl.selwerd.cx

They have the entire UU.NET network in their black list.  That is almost as
bad as black listing AOL.com or yahoo.com.

With this said, does anyone know of any other tests that should not be ran?

Travis
