easynet quits

[Stephen Swaney]

http://au.spamassassin.org/tests.html shows that: 

RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK =
Sent directly from dynamic IP address

I can't fine easynet listed on this tests page.

Looking in the actual SA 2.60 files shows:

# pwd
# grep easynet *
20_dnsbl_tests.cf:header RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK
eval:check_rbl_txt('dynablock-notfirsthop', 'dynablock.easynet.nl.')

So it looks to me like SpamAssassin was using only the specific dynamic IP
address list at dynablock.easynet.nl

I also have:

sendmail_in.mc:FEATURE(`dnsbl', `blackholes.easynet.nl', `Rejected - see
http://blackholes.easynet.nl/SBL')dnl


Which I'll have to disable before 12/1. Sorry to see them go away

Hope this helps,
