OK guys, I played it safe. I spent more time on trying to discover why Postfix was not working, at 5 AM on Saturday morning I noticed that my AV scanner was dumping scanned mail into sendmail. What I thought it was doing was dumping it via smtp on a backdoor port to postfix. Although I had entered the data in /etc/services, I failed to tell the AV scanner where to send it, and also failed to enter the /etc/postfix/master.cf entry for the backdoor service name. I had just commented out the smtp line.
As I run in a protected network, the backdoor was a safe option. The end result is that I can now reject mail that I now is dodgy and use the RBL. Thanks for all your comments.

My experience has been completely opposite. I had a couple of False Positives in the first week I started using it , but they were all from HTML newsletters that I subscribe to. I simply whitelisted all of the newsletters and I haven't had a FP since.( I use the default level 5) -- Tim C [EMAIL PROTECTED]
