apply to postfix? it left me scratching my head, and postfix is a fairly
straightforward concept. Heck, iptables is easier then what i read in
that article.
Not at all. It's shared weight between postfix and qmail... The
first part is about adding RBL support to both postfix and qmail.
What was confusing about it? The second part deals with TMDA, an
anti-spam client program (not the RBL stuff, two very different
things)... that was the more complex of the two but, again, it was
described for both qmail and postfix.
I would have (and may yet) add sendmail to the RBL stuff once I play
around with it, but TMDA doesn't support sendmail so I can't add it to
part two.

Would you mind taking another look at it? It makes sense to me, but
then I wrote it. It's not geared towards absolute newbies, but I
don't think you need a physics degree to read it. Another look and
some idea as to what doesn't make sense would be appreciated so I can
maybe clarify some issues that require it (to avoid said physics
degree for readers).
Thanks, Mark.
