I've never used DNSWLs. Just never saw the purpose I guess. Perhaps whitelisting is something that can't be delegated to a 3rd party, and should be done in-house. I use whitelisting very sparingly, typically only for (temporarily) accepting email from a poorly configured server (rDNS typically), or to circumvent some other anti-spam measure that is resulting in false positives. -- -Eric 'shubes'
