best MailScanner configuration?

[Martin Hepworth]

Hi

depends on what extra rules you have installed...as how good it scores,
and whether or not you removed/upgraded any local ones as needed


for the surbl stuff check /etc/mail/spamassassin.init.pre file for this

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL

if it's not there add it in and it should start working (assuming you
have latest version to Net::DNS loaded..)
