when using MailScanner?

Thank you. I tried it and didn't see anything strange, but I'd read
somewhere long ago that it might have different logging and cause
problems with either MailScanner or MailWatch.

Hi Steve,

I prefer using it as you get to see the 'From' email address if you bounce the email through RBL's. It makes things simpler to diagnose.
One downside to using it is would be using custom bounce error codes. When I use it and create a custom bounce, the error doesn't appear on the bounce, all you get is 'relaying denied'.

Hope that helps,
Rich

Thanks,

RBLs were the problem. I needed to allow an address being sent from a
server listed in SpamCop. I used the generic delay_checks with no
options so that a simple "From:" in my access file would override the
blockage.

I hope that's the way it works.

Yes that will work -

From:somedomain.com OK
Or
Connect:1.1.1.1 OK

Or you can do the delay_checks with the friend option.

Then something like this -

Spam:somedomainname.co.uk FRIEND

To bypass the RBL's altogether (some people don't like them..).
