on the other hand, if your system is not tight on resources, i would recommend not doing this. why? because in my experience so far, rblsmtpd is only effective on messages that are relayed from a blacklisted host directly to you. even after i added more servers to /var/qmail/control/blacklists, i was still receiving significant amounts of spam, since spammers were relaying mail through open relays, but the spams were passing through trusted systems before they got to me, and so rblsmtpd was letting them in.

now that i've enabled SURBL and DNSBL checks in SA, even though those spams still get in, they're accurately tagged so that my users' MUAs can deal with them appropriately.

Good point(s), Steve. (Those spammers are such sneaky little devils!)

A good reason for setting "skip_rbl_checks 0" in SA's local.cf (IMHO).
