Hmm... I don't see "SPAM? Host is blacklisted per RBL" anywhere in my SIMS logs, so I 
assume my connection to MAPS isn't set up properly.

Here's some info about (apparently faulty) my setup:

In SIMS' SMTP panel, I've got "use blacklist DNS servers" checked, 
"rbl-plus.mail-abuse.org" listed as the RBL server, and "127.0.0.2" as a blacklisted 
address.

DNSpro and SIMS are running on the same machine (same IP).
The machine is behind a NAT, with a static translation for the server.

I've given MAPS the public IP of my mail and DNS server (the same IP for both).

What am I missing?  I've no other apparent problems with my setup.
