FW: FW: Spamassassin only

[Paul Hamilton]

Please ignore our last message, we have now seen RBL entries in our
logs and assume that SA reads from RBL's spam.lists.conf.
Hands up, were dumb!!

Julian,

This is no doubt a dumb question but where within its config
does SA determine which RBL lists to use, do we need to
specify them somewhere?

By removing the RBL's from "Spam List =" in MS, should we see the
RBL checking appear in our logs, when SA performs them?

Just set
Spam List =
and it won't do any RBL checking itself.
