Thanks Jeremy, believe it or not, I do realize that this is a bit off topic to this mailing list but I have been having unexplained phenomenon where my posts to qmail list do not get through although I am receiving all the posts. So I thought I give it a try here. I think most subscribers here use qmail and rblsmptd as well. I guess I am hoping it doesn't bother people too much to solicit some response from here. > > Say, hostation.com is a virtualhost on my system and I wish > to accept > > all e-mail even from servers listed with spamcop. > > from http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/rblsmtpd.html : > > If the $RBLSMTPD environment variable is set and is nonempty, > rblsmtpd blocks mail.

Yes, I thought of different MX records as well but this would necessitate running qmail on a separate server since I cannot run 2 instances of qmail-smtpd on the same port (25) on the same server even if each is using a different virtual IP. At least I don't think I can. > > Hope this helps, and please, in the future, try to post > questions to the proper mailing lists, as that is why they exist :) > Thanks for trying.
