Eric, can you explain what you are referring to in your Caution
statement above? Do you mean that all of the content should be listed
on one line? So using an example from George's blacklist below the
content should look like:
-r sbl.spamhaus.org -r bl.spamcop.net -r relays.ordb.org . . . etc.
If this is the way it needs to be input into the blacklists file should
there be commas, spaces or something else between each entry? If not,
then I guess I am a little confused on what you are referring to.
