I'm not sure why I think it's not working.  Skimming the log file, shortly 
after the back was launched, we saw several of these messages:

connect to sbcgloabal.net[208.73.210.27]:25: Connection refused
connect to comcst.net[216.240.187.144]:25: Connection refused 
connect to eathlink.net[216.65.41.185]:25: Connection refused

(obviously the last two aren't on the list, but will be added).  Anyway, I will 
start logging see if it's working.  I also just noticed that the rate limiting 
file was touched this week, so I need to find out what was touched (which it 
hasn't been touched in a year since we set it up).
