The problem is not tmda-cgi, which does its job perfectly.
It's tmda's behavior that causes trouble: it sees 'aol.com' in a DBM
blacklist as a domain filter.

Since tmda is running on a qmail relay server, a lot of spam fills the
queue. But from time to time there are useful messages there, too. So I
have to check the queue. One solution may be to _delete_ spam messages
instead of blacklisting them.
It is correct that a lot of spammers use random addresses and blacklisting
them is useless. BUT there are still a lot of blocked mails (I don't know
if they are from spammers that are too stupid to change the sender) and I
would regret to lose this feature.

Is there no solution to tell tmda NOT to regard 'aol.com' as a domain
filter? These filters should be in an extra list (not DBM for using
wildcards)
