Re: Getting host not listed in rcpthosts - locally

You're using the wrong terminology. In qmail, nothing is "local", except mail injected directly into the queue using qmail-inject. Everything else is a remote connection including connections from 127.0.0.1. Why don't you paste the contents of your smtp rules file to the mailing list. --Adam

Re: Effective anti spamming

Above.net (at least) was added to ORBS because they blocked ORBS' unwanted probing. So now you've got to revise your statement below: ORBS blocks open relays and those _networks_ that refuse to be scanned. Anyway, my point was that you will lose quite a bit of legitimate email if you block ba
