Well I'm reading more and more with the slow holiday time. I keep coming
back to Theo and kludge.net as great info. Particularly the post Theo made
about X-Rot version cleared the cloudy skies for me:

Blocking spam goes like so....

-SMTP(access bd, RBLS, simple header checks, ect)
-Procmail
-SA
-MUA filter
-Delete key :-)

(one could argue that the firewall would be the first layer.)

I guess I was so busy reading stuff, I never stepped back to realize where I
should have started. So I'm using Theo as a model, with possible Tacocat.net
functions (If his email ever stops bouncing!).

So, regarding access db (Theo's) and RBLs.... Our business has the
unfortunate situation of having to deal with China and Korea. So I'm
wondering if anyone has had problems using either Theo's access.txt and or
the popular RBL services while dealing with these countries? I suppose I
could just turn on the functions, wait for the screams, and whitelist then
:-)

While this may not seem like an SA issue, it is. I'm now trying to take as
much filtering and work off of SA. I've seen many people ask questions with
SA answers that could have been resolved before even getting to SA. So this
makes perfect sense...now :) 

My main concern is blocking a proxy or IP subnet that is known for open
relay, but is needed by our company. 

Thanks,
Chris
