My basic feeling about RBL is that the folks who run it are a bit fanatical. At my past job, hosts which I controlled were submitted to RBL not because any spam had been actually relayed through them but because of the potential for relaying using a technique that was not yet in any, let alone wide-spread use for relaying. The service they provide is good, so I hear, but I personally consider them a great big denial of service attack. If I were you I'd look at giving my individual users tools to block/filter/sort their mail so that spam can be mostly avoided. I know my views are probably in the minority on this, but shrug I'm not trying to make enemies. -- Fred Clift - fred@clift.org -- Remember: If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough.
