Sorry of this may have been covered elsewhere. I have been following this thread and agree with the logic so would like to try the changes, remove RBL checking from MailScanner and enable in SA. Could someoen pelase list what I change/comment-out in mailscanner.conf, and what I need to add/edit in spam.assassing.prefs.conf...there are bits and peices in this thread, but I want to ensure I have everything. So far I think I have:

MailScanner.conf:

Change the following....

 # This is the list of spam blacklists (RBLs) which you are using.
 # See the "Spam List Definitions" file for more information about what
 # you can put here.
 # This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
 Spam List = ORDB-RBL SBL+XBL SPAMHAUS NJABL BLITZED CBL DSBL UCEL1

to ....

 # This is the list of spam blacklists (RBLs) which you are using.
 # See the "Spam List Definitions" file for more information about what
 # you can put here.
 # This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
 # Spam List = ORDB-RBL SBL+XBL SPAMHAUS NJABL BLITZED CBL DSBL UCEL1

spam.assassin.prefs.conf:

Change the following....

 #score RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET    4
 # These next 3 will cost you money, see mailscanner.conf.
 #score RCVD_IN_RBL               10
 #score RCVD_IN_RSS               1
 #score RCVD_IN_DUL               1

to ....
