RBL Usage Questions

[Hadlow, Tim]

Julian, Sorry to be dense.

When you say "It is triggered if it gets _any_ of the valid 127.0.0.x return
codes" Do you mean that it is triggered irrespective of the number i.e. if I
have
Spam Lists To Reach High Score = 2
it would be triggered even if I got back 127.0.0.1?  Or does it understand
that
127.1.0.1, 127.1.0.2, 127.1.0.4, 127.1.0.8 = 1 hit and so wouldn't trigger
127.1.0.3, 127.1.0.5, 127.1.0.3, 127.1.0.6, 127.1.0.9, 127.1.0.10,
127.1.0.12 = 2 hits
127.1.0.7, 127.1.0.11, 127.1.0.13, 127.1.0.14 = 3 hits
127.1.0.5 = 4 hits

Thanks,

Tim.

It is triggered if it gets any of the valid 127.0.0.x return codes.
