I think this is what it seems to be. I am downloading the server as I type this and should be able to comment a bit better then :) > One of the big reasons you might see timeouts, incidentally, is that the > query is a single UDP packet.

I think this is possible, it could also be that the open servers are for people to test dcc and if it is what they want they to install the server. > I don't think that it would be a good idea to configure SpamAssassin to > talk to the central server run by Rhyolite, though. That's probably more > load than they really want. > I maybe able to talk to my ISP but I am not sure if they would be willing to host an open server. I would do it if this damn country would pull it's finger out and give us DSL access.
