------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-02-18 10:43 ------- Subject: Re: New: Problem with people who have dynamic IP from there ISP SORBS performs multiple tests. Is there a way to specify which tests you want SORBS to perform, and exclude the "dynamic IP" test? This is something your email sysadmins should be able to figure out. They should be able to tell SpamAssassin which types of SORBS tests to perform. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 12:20 PM Subject: [Bug 3058] New: Problem with people who have dynamic IP from there ISP > http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3058 > > Summary: Problem with people who have dynamic IP from there ISP > Product: Spamassassin > Version: unspecified > Platform: Other > OS/Version: other > Status: NEW > Severity: normal > Priority: P5 > Component: Rules (Eval Tests) > AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Alot of innocent victims are getting blocked because there respectible large > ISP has a spammer on 1 IP out of a few million.
