Osirusoft question

[NTIN Page Guy]

Hello Matthew,

spam.list.conf only translates the RBL names.

such as osirusoft.com is translated to the actual RBL server address
of relays.osirusoft.com.

To actually stop RBL lookup on that RBL you should make sure
osirusoft.com does not appear in the "Spam List =" directive in your
MailScanner.conf

Unless Im just horribly confused.
