Doug, The Razor and RBL list, etc are dual edged swords. By default MailScanner assigns them low values (and properly so) thus most times they don't affect the outcome. As such I generally think of them as just cpu wasting - and a needless delay of mail (probably not much of a delay for you). YMMV.
In any case, I wouldn't worry too much initially about these. You'll come to love them... then to hate them... then you'll pretty much just ignore them. :-) Jon Carnes On Thu, 2005-06-23 at 10:38, Douglas Ward wrote: > I apologize for dumping all of my questions on the list at once but I am > stuck in one other place.
