Well, ressource-wise it makes a difference if you run a million mails thru SA or if you can unload 90% at MTA level and run only the remaining 100.000 thru SA.

OT - test, and happy holidays
Sorry for the test. It's too slow around the holidays, and I need to see if my filters are working properly before I leave for holiday.. (ie NOT replying to everything with an OOO message!) Happy Holidays everyone! Have a great New Year and hopefully we'll all come back to find SA has caught all of the spam. ;)

Honestly, and not meant to be offensive, but if you do that that's your problem you should know better. I don't accept such mail either. And don't tell me you cannot send mail another way. sometimes people's ISP gets listed (for good or bad reasons), and that can be a very frustrating situation. This may be considered as collateral damage, of course. but it's still annoying. It's surprising to me that the SA lists aren't just run through SA. Well, ressource-wise it makes a difference if you run a million mails thru SA or if you can unload 90% at MTA level and run only the remaining 100.000 thru SA. This is absolutely true if you can find reliable RBLs. but unfortunately, this is not as easy as we would like. BTW is the list of subscribers available to the MTA, so that it can reject non subscribers at MTA time? that won't help with forgeries, but should reduce the load (not sure, but would be good to know if spammers target the list without forging a subscriber's address).

I'm wondering if Net::DNS isn't working properly? It wasn't installed by default, so I used CPAN to get the latest version. How does a person go about testing it? You should install Net::DNS like the other perl modules are installed on your system. If you install Net::DNS by CPAN, but everything else was installed from tarballs or rpms or vice versa, then the system may be confused about what to run, where to find it, what versions it thinks are current, etc. OTOH IIRC one of the SA lint or debug tests is to see if Net::DNS is correctly installed and relatively recent. But it's important to install things in a consistent way or your system could get confused. Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/
