probably "maps_rbl_reject_code = 450" > Craig, why do you think it's undesirable to do so? because i dont want the extra retry traffic. i want spammers to take FOAD as an answer, and i dont want to welcome them with a pleasant "please try again later" message. i think it is a sin to be polite or pleasant to a spammer :) even on my little home system, at the end of an adsl line, i reject nearly 10,000 spams per day (and climbing all the time). i would expect that to at least double or triple if i 4xx-ed them rather than 5xx, depending on how much came from open relays or spamhaus rather than dynamic/DUL. i can see why some might want to do this, but not me. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (part time cyborg) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
