spamhaus-XBL

doing a looking at spamhaus
(http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=219.132.219.6) the ip-address IS in
spamhaus's DB.

I find doing the RBL checks in MailScanner can produce problems with
false positives and I only do the checks in SA, as  you've also got set.

if you remove the RBL check from MailScanner.conf and let SA only do
this you won't get the email marked as spam.
