Greetings list

I have been using SIMS for just under a week and I am amazed at how 
good it is at reducing the SPAM I get. I need some help with creating 
appropriate rules. Please bear with me, or point me to a URL that 
answers all these questions. (And yes, I have been through the html 
docs several times!)

1) I have all of the "SMTP Settings:Anti-spam settings" check boxes 
set. I have all of the LAN IPs and my public IP (just one) listed 
under Client Hosts. Is this correct?

2) Under Black Listed I have placed the IPs of offenders who get 
through the other filters. Is there any way to control the message 
they receive in the bounce? Can I put in a quoted string like the RBL 
Server List?

3) The only entry I have in the RBL Server List is [inputs.orbz.org 
"Open Relay, see: http://www.orbz.org/ or http://spam.eton.ca/";]. I 
wanted to have a longer quoted string, but it seemed to get cut off. 
How do I make use of the different returns 127.0.0.X? That is, does 
it make any sense to send different messages and if yes, then how?

4) In the router I have an entry like this [P0PMAILER.ORG = error] 
which seems to keep that whole domain out. I also have [<ima.tarpit> 
= spamtrap] with that email address spread over my web pages as an 
invisible field. Is there any way to change the messages these 
generate? The Spamtrap ones seem quite mild compared to what I would 
like to say.  ;->

5) When mail comes to my server through a trusted aliasing system, I 
want to have SIMS look at the second to last Received: IP for relay 
checking. Is there any way to do that?

6) And finally, how can I use the "server wide rules" that are 
available in Communigator but not in the web interface? Does anybody 
use them?

Answers to any of these in any order greatly appreciated. Feel free 
to email me off-list if you prefer. The email address is valid.

Thanks
