I have been trying to get the IP Black list file to function properly. Below are the settings I am using..

GLOBAL.CFG
IPFILE fromfile d:\imail\declude\ipblacklist.txt x 20 0
The "fromfile" test type is only for return addresses (E-mail addresses), not IP addresses. If you change it to:

IPFILE ipfile d:\imail\declude\ipblacklist.txt x 20 0

then it should work.

One last thing once its working. If I lookup a class of IP's and it seems to be owned by a clearing house for SP*AM would it be advisable to add 209.50.0.1/8 to the list ?
*If* it appears as though all the IPs in the range belong to the spammer, yes.

But, there are often cases where an IP of a known spammer gets listed, but there are legitimate mailers in the same Class C range, so you do have to be careful.

If you aren't very familiar with CIDR ranges, you can use the tool at http://www.DNSstuff.com -- for example, you can enter "209.50.0.1/8", and it will show that it covers 209.0.0.0 through 209.255.255.255.
