As there have been several messages on this list relating to the RBL test
address `nelson@???', and as he's not on the (closed) exim list,
I thought I'd forward his update message.
He's fixed bugs, and changed it to "reply" rather than always sending to
`postmaster' -- now a useful tool !

With some help from Piete, I've made the following changes:
o rejected connections didn't generate an error message (the user
simply received an empty message).
o I was mis-parsing addresses from hosts which implement ident (the
user simply received an empty message).
o Put a subject on the message. Everyone should bow slightly in
Piete's direction.
o Now sends the mail to your envelope sender address.
Send mail to nelson@??? from the server whose RBL block
you are testing. Expect one reply from ns.crynwr.com with the SMTP
conversation. If you get another reply from linux.crynwr.com, your
RBL filter is broken.
