Who does RBL checks - MailScanner or SpamAssassin?

[Alex Neuman]

Most of the servers I handle are authoritative for their domain, and  
do caching for whoever's behind them on a private network. I try to  
only do recursive lookups for localhost and 192.168.x.x addresses  
within private networks, and just answer for their own domains when  
asked by anyone outside.
