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.
