So "local" could be all the emails matching > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is that correct? Nope. 'net' means with DNSBL checks. 'local' means no DNSBL lookups. If you're handling small volumes of mail or have local copies of the DNSBLs (usu. via zone transfer), understand the listing policy of each DNSBL, and are not running SA under Windows[1], DNSRBL checks are pretty effective. -- Bob [1] Due to problems with Windows' (non-)implementation of fork() and POSIX signals (SIGALRM) or problems with Perl on Win32 related to the former, net tests with SA are unreliable at best. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
