That's entirely possible.  It's only through doing research that
I learned that I'm supposed to set up bind9, or something similar.

Many months ago, I was making raw requests to SURBL because
I did not know about the following option:

spamassassin -L

Rather than deal with the problem at that time, I switched to the
-L option.  Prior to switching, I'd been using spamassassin without
the -L switch out of ignorance.

More specifically, I'd been doing this:

cat spam.mbox | spamassassin -dt >temp

When I learned a better way, I did this:

cat spam.mbox | spamassassin -dtL >temp

Fortunately, my Linux distro, Debian (or KDE
or whatever) had set the default for incoming
mail to this:

spamassassin -L

However, when I tested new spamassassin rules
that I'd written, I did this initially:

cat spam.mbox | spamassassin -dt >temp

That absence of the -L switch when testing new spamassassin
rules that I personally wrote myself is what may have gotten
me into trouble.

Thanks for your reply!  Much appreciated!
