Start by removing relays.osirusoft.com from your RBL list. As noted by
almost everyone today, it has turned psychotic and will more than likely
disrupt your mail service if you try to use it.
If you haven't already, upgrade your SIMS to 1.8b9d14 and enable all of the
anti-spam features in the SMTP Settings. (Hmm, ftp.stalker.com doesn't seem
to be available any more...) Make sure that you have appropriate entries in
the Client Hosts list to control who can relay through your server.
When spam does get through to you (no matter how vigilant you are, some
_will_ get through 8-\ ), examine the headers to determine where it was
relayed to your server from (the top-most 'Received' line). If you feel
it's appropriate, add the relay's IP address and/or its enclosing block to
your SIMS blacklist (the definition of 'appropriate' is highly subjective
here). If the Return-Path looks like it might fit a repeatable pattern,
route it to ERROR.
I think that pretty much covers what you can do with SIMS. I'm sure someone
will pipe up if I've overlooked something.
