Well there were twp partsto this, the main part the rblsmtpd and the
trivial/curious part, which is this.
Let me start with the rblsmtpd.
Here is a rbl log on another mail server.

As you can see, it says it is doing A-record resolutions with the relevent
abuse locations.
I did note in the earlier mail that rblsmtpd is now in the ucspi-tcp program
and has a -a query.
The only thing about this is why it says "anti-listed" instead of listed.
On my second question which was about the 220, 221 etc. codes, Yes, I had
already tried putting something in SMTPGREETING.
What that gives me is (I've deleted most of the junk for brevity) :-

As you can see, it gives the same text string for 220, 221 and 250 ie the
smtpgreeting.
Wheras, other pople customise the strings which is what I was asking about.

Anyway, this part I was just curious about. The main bit was/is the
rblsmtpd. Please refer back to my original mail if you are confused.

Ah, Blackadder. Notice anything...unusual?
Yes, sir. It's eleven thirty in the morning, and you're moving about.
Is the bed on fire?
