Yeah, I want to start by using relays.ordb.org -and in the coming weeks
possibly subscribe to spam cop or some of the others that you mentioned
after I do a little more research. I like the idea of using spamhaus.org
from what I've read about their service (so far) -many of the look-ups I
perform on habitual spammers shows up in that db, so I'll investigate their
service more.. I was unfamiliar with opm.blitzed.org -thanks for the info..!
So does the location of the "deny dnslists = relays.ordb.org" directive
matter in the ACL part of the config? I'm guessing it should be towards the
top..<?>
Does this look correct?
Thanks again for your help and suggestions, I appreciate your time and
assistance.
