Yes, I see that now. :) Just in case anybody is wondering, throwing in some (literally) random passwords on the Postmaster and webmaster account fixed the problem pretty good. Here's a question: Do I even need to have an account for a name if it is just a forwarding name via the Router? That is, do I need to keep a webmaster account if my router says "webmaster = my_main_email"? Thanks a ton guys. And those extra spam blocks (blacklist.alfordmedia.com, cbl.abuseat.org) have helped some too. Question: If I use sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, do I need to use cbl.abuseat.org? >From your discussion it seems like the cbl is included in the xbl, so it would be redundant, ja?
