And you mine :-) Daniel reckoned I was being incredibly rude - i wasn't trying to be, simply stating the obvious.

That said, I disagree with the premise any of the info you asked for _is_ relevant to the discussion at hand (other than the version of SA, of course, which was provided in my original mail).

The software that you're using - besides the SA version that I didn't notice, mea culpa - is actually incredibly important. For example,this Postfix server is configured to do reverse lookups on envelope senders (MAIL FROM: senders) /and/ separately to deny any envelope senders who say that they are from this domain (billy.demon.nl) but are sending from another IP range /unless/ they use smtp AUTH to prove who they are. This is long before SpamAssassin's AWL kicks in - AWL for senders in my domain retains its integrity, and - most important - I can always rely on that integrity.


Had you used Postfix, and had I known that, I could have helped at that stage, long before AWL for senders from your domain had been tainted and needed adjustment.

Again apologies for rudeness that wasn't intended - more a cry of "wake up."

Best,

Tony

I wonder why ...
