All,

[Hoping this gets through, and isn't blocked by SpamAssassin on another
server!!]

I've been trying to work this one out for a few days now - I run various
mailman lists, and recently all my mail has been rejected when I've
attempted to post to them.  I use Sendmail, Amavis-new (via milter), Clamd
and SpamAssassin on the server (paranoid, me?!), and have investigated a
little...

A full example message quarantined by the server is reproduced below (I know
I shouldn't post spam to this list, but then this isn't actually spam!).
The problem appears to be down to the DYNABLOCK list recently taken over by
SORBS.

>From previous discussions on this list, I was under the impression that the
DYNABLOCK list should be used as a filter *only* where a listed IP is
sending mail directly to a recipient server.  I am using (as always) my
ISP's SMTP relays, and so don't believe SA should be using DYNABLOCK.  This
is confirmed by SORBS' assertion that dynamically-addressed users should
always use their ISP's SMTP relays.

Can anyone tell me whether SpamAssassin is using DYNABLOCK incorrectly, or
if there may be something wrong with my configuration?  Up until now, the
6.3 tag/kill threshold has worked well, and I don't really want to have to
increase it if I don't need to.

All .cf files are up-to-date...

Many thanks in advance for any advice.
