Still straddling the world of MS and amavisd at the moment as I am, I've noticed today that the RBL tests involving 'habeas.com' are a bit rubbish, or rather tcpdump'ing th exchange shows that the domain is mostly 'refusing' our requests.

I've added the following lines to my SA configuration today to try and settle things:

# Habeas.com looks rubbish
score HABEAS_SWE 0
score HABEAS_HIL 0
score HABEAS_VIOLATOR 0
# And to help with above
rbl_timeout 10
