Sorry Len, have not used IMGate myself. Was speaking from a user of Declude only. :)

After you accept that a certain amount of merde is ALWAYS going to get through (so you don't repeatedly waste hours trying to block that tiny %age), and that there will always be false positives (easily and quickly whitelisted), you can mostly "fire and forget" with IMGate's anti-abuse gateway. here's an IMail IPS in LA with a 50% reject rate and no complaints: Grand Totals ------------ messages 4868 received 4853 delivered 32 forwarded 38 deferred (232 deferrals) 77 bounced 2429 rejected and the rejects break-out: 2 RBL dynablock.wirehub.net 4 ACL header checks 4 SMTP invalid [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11 Other 12 RBL relays.visi.com 13 ACL unauthorized relay 14 ACL body checks 35 RBL orbs.dorkslayers.com 37 ACL [EMAIL PROTECTED] 48 SMTP unauthorized pipelining 53 DNS no A/MX for @recipient.domain 57 RBL blackholes.wirehub.net 72 RBL proxies.relays.monkeys.com 116 DNS nxdomain for MTA PTR hostname 124 RBL relays.ordb.org 305 ACL unknown local user 400 ACL [EMAIL PROTECTED] 489 DNS timeout for MTA PTR hostname 646 DNS no A/MX for @sender.domain 2442 TOTAL And this particular IMGate user is not using a lot of RBL checks, and the ones he does use, as you can see above, don't contribute a huge %age to his rejects.
