Mailscanner RBL checks

[Vlad Mazek]

Scott,

Yes it does as a matter of fact, however, I am unable to find any SA rule
that is looking at the RBL, which is what started the entire confusion for
me to begin with.

Something is causing a lot of RBL lookups and I just can't track down
exactly what; my problem is that I don't want to completely turn off the RBL
lookups (easy) I just don't want it looking at 16 different lists for every
incoming message..
