Does anybody know something about them? I'm not blocking them directly,
i'm only using ordb.org and relays.osirusoft.com lookups.
All those spaces at the end of each mention of my site makes me very
suspicious about the nature of this mail ...
Btw, keep up the good work with spamassassin. I'm evaluating it for
implementation at our site with amavisd, just need to get some dedicated
hardware first. :)

Unfortunatly, SMTP email is anything but a small set of problems.
Quite the opposite: it's a tarpit of bureaucratic standards committees,
arrogant implementors, impatient administrators and whiny end-users.
