I had the same problem and, if you're using ColdFusion, the code right
after my sig will fix it.
The file is, at a guess, not in Windows format. What I did was read
it, the put it into server memory and write it all over again. The
way CF writes the file makes Imail happy. The whole routine takes
about 5 seconds to run and I'm certain with only a little more effort
I can build it differently so the lines aren't written one at a time
like this. Still, it runs fast enough that I'm happy for now.
This routine also adds in my own blacklist entries, which, since I
rely on an external system, is a mighty short list. Still if you use
CF you can use this as the basis to build your own supplementer. It
doesn't bother with a dupe check as, again, I only have a few entries.
