So should I activate the O macro in sendmail.cf or leave it commented out as shown above? THis ruleset doesn't appear to work: Scheck_rbl # lookup up an ip address in the Realtime Blackhole List. R$-.$-.$-.$- $: $(host $4.$3.$2.$1.rbl.maps.vix.com $:OK $) I get the following output: > check_rbl 111.org $| 204.182.59.9 rewrite: ruleset 199 input: 111 . org $| 204 . 182 . 59 . 9 rewrite: ruleset 199 returns: 111 . org $| 204 . 182 . 59 . 9 > > > ftp://releng22.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releng22/src/etc/mail > > > > This is a bad link.

It has a few more rulesets. Thanks, ___________________________________________________________________ Mark L. Turrin mlt@linkzone.com --- Save the whales...collect the whole set.
