I have to correct myself... :-[
The rbl checks are done at the 'run' script level....

With all of the discussion on rbl's and utilization of such, also with the recent changes in spammers counter measures, in particular, the recent 'bayes poisoning' attempts (specifically random text with an image, if this is run through spamassassin, and learned as spam, the text portion will poison your bayes db). I would like to open the following discussion in terms of
the toaster's methodology.

What, in terms of tcpserver's rules, could be done to this. Obviously, blacklists have their
pro's and con's, i.e. what is one man's garbage is another man's gold.
In particular, if one is going to check blacklists, what could be done to do this at the tcpserver level, for instance, when the run script is run for smtp, the options, '-R' and '-H' is set, so if one is going to check a blacklist, and do a dns lookup anyway, what would be the pro's and con's of removing '-R' and '-H' and changing the program from 'true' to something else? If certain tests weren't met at that level send back the appropriate error message, and terminate
the connection.

Ideas?
