. Doing it in Spamassassin applies the principals of fuzzy logic by assigning a score to the different black lists that should more precisely reflect the accuracy of the list. If your black lists never have any false positives, then you're good to go. :) Mojo -- Morris Jones Monrovia, CA http

Re: Excessive DNS Requests

to further prevent the excessive DNS requests? Put your own caching DNS on your mail server, so you're not always banging Covad's DNS. Your spam checks will run a lot faster, too. Cheers, Mojo -- Morris Jones Monrovia, CA http://www.whiteoaks.com Old Town Astronomers: http://www.otastro.org

experiment with the same result. You have Bayes turned off, I have it on. I'm also using auto-whitelist. Clearly there's nothing significant about the triggering message. I'm doing fine with --max-conn-per-child=10 for now. Cheers, Mojo -- Morris Jones * Monrovia, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http
