I had a similar problem with another program..
If you let SA do all the RBL's etc it won't use the RBL's as a blacklist, just add to the score.
You may have to aleviate the straing on the system by then letting the MTA (postfix in your case) check the email for valid email addresses, and not letting invalid ones in.

Greetings, and apologies is thisn't the right forum for this post. I've already asked on postfix-users with no luck there.
We run postfix and SpamAssassin. Postfix's use of RBL is pre-empting SA's ability to whitelist specific senders. I'm wondering if there is some way to override that.
We run postfix 2.1.5_1,1 on FreeBSD 5.2.1, and use some RBL lists:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = ... reject_rbl_client opm.blitzed.org, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client proxies.relays.monkeys.com, reject_rbl_client relays.ordb.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_rbl_client sbl.spamhaus.org
We also use SpamAssassin 3.0.1_2, called from master.cf:
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -o \ content_filter=spamassassin
...
spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe user=nobody argv=/usr/local/bin/spamc -f -e /usr/local/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}
We are seeing cases where mail is rejected because of the RBL lists, even when a sender is whitelisted in a recipient's SA user_prefs file.
Is there any way to reverse the order of operations so that postfix doesn't check with the RBL list when SA says a sender is OK?
Thanks.
