Well that is a way of calling a DNSBL (DNS blacklist), but I was speaking
of DNSBLs in SA.. you need to install the Net::DNS perl module for them to
go. They show up as rule hits named RCVD_IN_SORBS, RCVD_IN_OPM, etc.

As for bayes, it's a trained statistical analysis system. You feed it
training using sa-learn, and it latter applies those lessons to inbound
email. shows up as rule hits such as BAYES_10 and BAYES_99. Requires the
DB_File perl module in SA 2.6*.
