Do you know if there is anything that users of imail 8.02 can do since the anti spam option do not allow you to query a particular zone?

.com did follow (both .net and .com occurred at the same time).
But it isn't off-topic: It breaks the MAILFROM or equivalent spam test
(that checks the domain of the return address to make sure that it is a
valid domain).
However, one of our customers found a neat work-around for this -- setting
up an RHSBL test using the zone "." and looking for a return IP of
64.94.110.11. That simple looks up the A record for the domain, and if
64.94.110.11 (the IP Veriscam uses) appears in the results, you know the
domain is fake.
We plan to change Declude JunkMail to automatically detect the 64.94.110.11
IP, but until that is ready, this workaround will work nicely (and it can
be used with all anti-spam programs that support RHSBL tests).
