Who does RBL checks - MailScanner or SpamAssassin?

[Martin Hepworth]

Res

Yes that's another option, but I find this type of blacklist give too many
false positives. I prefer to get SA to do it, and merely add to the spam
score.

My MTA rejects unknown email addresses (which gives another risk, but I find
it less risky the the RBL route), and I drop over 2/3s of my traffice that
way.
