Along those lines, is it possible, or can it be possible, to have spamdyke's logs indicate which DNS RBL caused a message to be rejected? I'm assuming that once a reason for rejection is found, IE, the IP is listed in a particular RBL, further tests against other RBL's in the list are not performed? Knowing, statistically, which ones have a higher rejection rate, and queuing those first in the list of RBLS might save some time. Or course, multiple RBLS could reject the same message, and the one first in line would have the higher percentage, but this would give us a way to move them around and check the results... Just a thought from a newbie to spamdyke. BTW, I LOVE Spamdyke! What a difference it has made in my system's ability to filter spam and save resources! It's a God send!
