Just one man's opinion, but those DNS blacklists IMO catch fairly small amounts of spam. So use it as one weapon, but don't depend on it. I use postfix/header_checks (aggressively) and postfix/access.db to bounce as much obvious spam as possible. But occasionally bounce legit mail too. Then also, I use procmail to filter stuff to a mailbox with even more aggressive rules so I can manually check this stuff. I then use this as a database to tighten up the postfix rules. Nothing works all the time!!! -- Hal Burgiss _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
