RBL rejections are logged like this (line continuations indented to fit this e-mail message): 00:39:42 1 SMTP-856([193.170.46.92]) SPAM? Host is blacklisted per RBL relays.ordb.org with result [127.0.0.2] 00:39:46 1 SMTP-856(miraculix.gym1.at) SPAM? Recipient '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' rejected: sending host is blacklisted, "Please see <http://www.ordb.org/> for more information." > I welcome any info to get my RBL working. Thanks! I no longer have MAPS entries in my RBL, so I can't show you that specifically. However, a typical RBL entry should look something like: relays.ordb.org "Please see <http://www.ordb.org/> for more information." The host name at the beginning of the line is the RBL server that SIMS should query. The quoted text is sent to the sender as explanatory info about rejections and can be anything you like. Also, of course, make sure that the 'Use Blacklist DNS server(s)' checkbox in the SMTP settings is checked on (enabled).
