very urgent problem with MailScanner + postfix

[Pete russell]

So which RBLS are everytone using? I had the defaults set, ORDB-RBL
Infinite-Monkeys and spamcop.net added - are you saying these are out
business?

Be interested to know which everyone else uses successfully, as I am a
little new ot this still - better to use what is known to be good, than
experiementing myself?

Thanks
Pete

The only thing I can think of is play aroud with your message size
threshold.  See if there are attachements with these messages, see if ya
can't find a common thread.  I can not say that I have had that problem.
