So the $64 question is: "How can I get SIMS to allow mail from an IP address it finds on an RBL to get to me?" I suspect this is a variant of the discussion earlier about whiteholing particular users in blacklisted domains. Or is it impossible?
This is a failing in SIMS. The only way to override a blacklist for all mail from a single address is to add that address to the client list, which of course opens a great big hole, if anyone knows to try to look for it.
The other solution to that basic problem is blacklist-overriding tagged addresses. If you have a specific sender who wants to send to a specific recipient, you can give them a 'whitehole' address that delivers to the same mailbox. I do this regularly with an address pattern that lets me give every company that might sell my address an address that will get by all the blacklisting, but which I can (if needed) kill in the router if it starts getting spam.
Let me restate my question as 2 questions:
1) Does a client listing override ALL of SIMS defences including RBLDNS?
2) If I create a <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> = myaccount router entry, and give the address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to the person I want to get through regardless, will that override RBLDNS lookups? That is, does a positive RBLDNS lookup append "blacklisted"?
