I was just denying all Yesmail connections in my tcp.smtp.cdb file.
After watching the thread today on blocking mail, I wanted to use the
RBLSMTPD var instead. Like so:

   # Yesmail.com
   63.88.133.:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"
   63.89.82.:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"
   63.238.242-243.:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"
   63.79.151.:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"
   207.154.137.:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"
   207.154.208.:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"
   208.44.19.:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"
   216.80.61.240-255:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"
   216.229.132.128-143:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"
   64.208.162.128-143:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"
   216.52.151.64-95:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Yesmail email is not wanted here"

Just for fun, I added one of my own IPs to the list as a test. The test
failed. :-(

   host:~{503} $ telnet mail.vcnet.com 25
   Trying 209.239.239.15...
   Connected to mail.vcnet.com.
   Escape character is '^]'.
   220 rblsmtpd.local
   Connection closed by foreign host.
   host:~{504} $ 

I thought it was supposed to spit out the contents of RBLSMTPD? And no
553 either. What did I miss? (I tried with both a space after the hyphen
and without.)
