Thanks for the reply.

I understand what you are saying (and that is how I have things set up now)
- but if the mail appears in *one* blacklist MailScanner deletes it - I was
looking for a 'consensus' option so that, say, 2 or 3 listings took it to
'spam' and left "Spam Lists To Reach High Score" to make it hit the roof if
appropriate. It looks like the only other option is to use SA scoring with
the blacklists rather than MailScanner?
