blacklists and archiving

[Martin.Hepworth]

Dave

What's he spam.blacklists.rules look like and what setting in
MailScanner.conf is calling this rules file.

Yes order is important, it runs through the rules top to bottom and
stops at any hit, ie putting a default line at the top will hit that
every time and no other rules will be evaluated.
