Unfortunately I started getting bounces for reasons similar to the above. Now I forward my mail through dodo.freenetproject.org via an SSL tunnel (no, we do not provide this service to anyone but core developers!). I have no idea how the above happened though. We have: Postfix Spamassassin (integrated into mailman, I don't think it's set up at the MTA level). Dspam (or do we? I can't find any direct trace of its package..) running on debian. Any ideas how and where we can configure the system to ignore sorbs.net? -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
