Vince, Thanks for sharing your RBL experience. Can I nominate you to be the QT Community's RBL guru? Your input lately has been very valuable. I'd like your help with 2 things: 1) the RBL configuration feature in qmailtoaster-plus allows for 3 'levels' of RBL checking: default, loose, and moderate. Can you come up with appropriate BLs for the loose and moderate (and possibly other) settings? 2) The wiki page at http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/RBLs could use some work. Would you consider refactoring it a bit? Thanks again for your participation and great work! -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
