Matt,

I see that your questions have already been answered by Kevin, but just
out of curiosity, why would a user want rbl-checks off ?
Since the day I started using list.dsbl.org, sbl.spamhaus.org and
relays.ordb.org, the amounts of incoming spam have decreased enormously
and since the sender gets a clear hint where to find out more, eg.
"554 Email blocked using spamhaus.org - see <http://www.abuse.net/sbl.phtml?IP=127.0.0.1>"
I don't see any reason why somebody would have turned it off.
It took a while to tweak and to choose the right rbl (some block
dial-up-accounts in general), but the benefits of it are well worth it.

Regards,

Steffan
