As with Spamhaus, if you are a heavy traffic and/or commercial site you should get a datafeed as you are obviously abusing donated resources. This permits the BLs continue offering a free service to the smaller, low traffic sites. Why should anybody donate his time/bandwidth/cpu cycles so you can "sell the queries" for your spam filtering service? Its only fair you share the costs incurred in running BLs or run your own. > I've read in the various discussions that this behavior is on purpose, however > I don't think the opensource SpamAssassin product should be used as a > marketing > vehicle for such commercial projects, and would at least expect > skip_rbl_checks > to skip the rbl checks. You can disable whatever BLs you require by setting the score to 0 -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
