I vote you never enable any 'dual purpose' rules like this that punish someone. on to another note:.. we found that for one or our smaller clients who had a sonicwall firewall.. those idiot things enable spamhaus rbl by default for all inbound port 25 connections, even if you don't pay sonicwall for email filtering. they didn't do anything about it (didn't block it) but made the queries. if these types of dual purpose rules are not disabled by default, the admin can find himself tracking down issues that are not his fault. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
