You might be correct.

I had set High score on RBLs set to 3.

As soon as I changed the High Scoring spams from deleted to deliver with
tag, the problem soon just turned in a a RBL/ISP-on-the-other-side problem.

NOw what I would like to do is to add a meesage i nthe body of the e-mail
indicating that the other side
is listed in a black hole.

How do I do that?
