Infinite-Monkeys got crazy?

[brichter]

Hope I am replying to the group properly with this.

Anyone know how to DISABLE outgoing mail RBL checks?

We don't do any Spam Assassin analysis of outgoing messages and I had
figured that counted for RBL's untill today when Infinite-Monkeys went
south.  Our internal server that relays to the sendmail box running
SA+MS+Sendmail was listing outbound messages as being RBL'ed.

So now everyone is hot on me to make sure we can disable ALL RBL checking
for OUR internal servers coming through it.

Thanks for any info!
