SAV uses the envelope sender to see if its MX will accept it as a recipient

all the isp-* and other lists work fine with SAV, but announcement lists, 
www servers with mail cgi's, .mil, airlines, reservations, e-commerce 
sites, have to be whitelisted.  They all "should" accept bounces (which is 
another way of saying what SAV tests) but they don't, so white list them.

whitelist

IMGate list is correctly set up, and it's envelope sender is a valid recipient.

only answer

To keep an eye on SAV rejects, in my "advanced" config, I made a script 
that prints out two fields from the SAV reject lines, sorted by ip of MTA:

sendingMTA      [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and emails that every hour. It's pretty easy to see what's junk and what's not.

I've also made another script that harvests the [EMAIL PROTECTED] of SAV 
undeliverable rejects (the sender.domain's MX said the account does not 
exist) to a .map file from_senders_undel.map:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 554 ACL from_senders_undel

Not sure whether that is worth it, I'm still evaluating.
