I've also been annoyed by Yahoo FPs based on the RFCI list. However: 1) In my experience, "brokenness" of a domain is a good spam sign. Not a perfect one, but a good one. Clueless admins tend to have exploitable systems; spammers tend to be lazy in setting up their domains. 2) SpamAssassin is a general tool that will need tweaking to fit specific scenarios. Rules that hit a lot of spam for me would hit a lot of ham for a stockbroker. That's why you can adjust scores in local.cf. If your experience is that the RFCI rules aren't hitting any spam, then disable them. But to dismiss them as useless for anyone because they're useless to you is, IMHO, missing the point. -- Dave Pooser Cat-Herder-in-Chief, Pooserville.com "I don't think there's a problem you CAN'T solve with murder!"
