Looks like I was running some version of 3.0 on that machine before
upgrading to Sarge, as pre-upgrade messages do include:

        -2.8 ALL_TRUSTED            Did not pass through any untrusted hosts

on locally generated messages.  Oddly, I no longer see that message
*after* I upgraded to Sarge.  But, if anything that would catch more
spam, not less as I'm seeing now.

I've been pushing old spam messages through my new setup to see if how
the scores change.  It's starting to look like RBL checks are not
happening any more, but skip_rbl_checks is not adjusted in local.cf.

Ah!

    debug: failed to load Net::DNS::Resolver: Can't locate Net/DNS.pm in @INC

I updated two very similar Woody machines that day, and this machine
was trouble -- for some reason dist-upgraded removed a number of
packages for a reason I'm not clear on.  (Like Apache and Bind!)



BTW -- Any of these need attention?
