However clients (domains owners) won't want to turn DNSBLs on and off frequently, they either want it on or not. We (UXN) give clients the choice, saying simply "DNSBLs are on by default, if you want them switched off for your particular domain just call us". Since in SIMS we have to do domain-level routing anyway, it's very simple to add an RBL by-pass for those who don't want filtering: <*%domain.com@blacklisted> = account-* (which BTW works the same in CommuniGate Pro) -- Steve Linford Ultradesign Xtreme Network http://www.uxn.com ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
