You can use the DNS entry that doesn't have "POS-" on the front and you won't give positives for mail servers that haven't been seen by Trustic before. I am going to suggest to them that there be a neutral setting. I understand they want to build a very complete list of mail servers so admins can take responsibility for their servers. If new servers were added as neutral then they would get a good list of lots of servers and weighting wouldn't be affected. Would also be nice if they gave one result for bad (which they do 127.0.0.2) and another result for positive and yet another for trusted positive. Then I could give positive weights for trusted positives and take away spam points from servers I say are good. -Josh --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
