Re: commercial ESP for forwarded SMTP?

We've managed the mail server in question with Rackspace for over 10 years. We're considering moving to their cloud servers to free up the dedicated hardware it's currently on. Rackspace admits that the IPs which are given with their cloud servers will very likely be on DNSBLs. As a solution, t

commercial ESP for forwarded SMTP?

We'll be deploying a mail server on a Rackspace cloud server, and they suggested that because their offering is 'utility computing' the IP addresses included are dirty (in a blacklist kind of way) and we should use a commercial ESP such as SendGrid, PostMark, CritSend, CloudSMTP, or the like. H

I just upgraded FuzzyOCR to 3.5.1 and everything works great. Except, I'm not getting the FUZZY_OCR rule when hashing is enabled. I get different results depending on the value of focr_enable_image_hashing. In the below examples, hashing off gives a much higher score for the orc-gif.eml example.
