It's easy to punch holes for specific sites. I've had to do a few
myself. I use tcpserver, so I just put this block in my cdb source
file:
# Override ORBS/RBL for a few hosts, at least for now
# The hockey.net domain, where TIES email comes from
209.98.94.1-8:allow,RBLSMTPD=""
# The University of Minnesota, poor people
160.94.5.41:allow,RBLSMTPD=""
128.101.131.42-43:allow,RBLSMTPD=""
# xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx home domain; seems spotty, but my tests showed this
167.142.225.1-6:allow,RBLSMTPD=""
By pre-setting the environment variable to a null string, I cause
rblsmtpd to not block.
