I think this is because Sendmail checks the current peer's IP address against the RBL, and SA scans all the Received: headers in the e-mail for matches.

I use Sendmail (8.12 or thereabouts) and Sendmail allows you to specify any of a number of RBLs directly, which I have done. Therefore it isn't really necessary for SA to check against these RBLs. I have noticed that two-thirds of SPAM headed my way gets caught by Sendmail's checks, and nearly all the rest gets grabbed by SA. William L. Polhemus, Jr. P.E.

I see that it checks e-mail against the MAPS databases, but that it does not appear to check the RBL+ database. Is there some way for me to add this check to the list? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
