I believe that nowadays most RBL testing includes checking for both "postmaster" and "abuse", and if either are missing, your site is a candidate to be blacklisted. I know that the RFCs (that I know of) do not require "abuse," but I've found it's a good idea to have it. I just ignore the "abuse" spam, or, if I'm feeling feisty, chase it down and get some access terminated. And no, I didn't plan to have everything about come out justified. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
