I'll ask again... Max, what effect does this have on SIMS' blacklists and RBLs? Are these rendered ineffective? Since ASSP acts as the SMTP proxy, sitting between the Internet and SIMS, and does the actual receiving of the email, I would expect that SIMS RBLs and blacklists would no longer be effective, if the ASSP setup is used. Mail 'coming in' to SIMS will be coming from 127.0.0.1, right? Then again, you call ASSP "a transparent SMTP proxy" which leads me to believe that maybe SIMS DOES still see the incoming IP address. Perhaps that's what "transparent" means... That, and you said in your write-up that: "not wanting to discard my beloved SIMS I decided to shore up the defenses with a Bayesian filter". Does ASSP 'shore up' (supplement) SIMS' defenses or replace them?
