Hi Jay & Marcello,

First... Jay: MailScanner.conf != mailscanner.cf (which is just a
symlink to spam.assassin.prefs.conf)... You knew that;-)

Second, Marcello: I assume the lines you are asking about are the
score lines as suggested by Martin (simply turning off some RBLs in
SpamAssassin).
The reason to turn these of is _if_ you can see (with a test message
run through spamassassin manually) that some BL or other is taking a
long time to finish... If a few of them do SA might take a rather long
while to finish, in turn leading to MailScanner killing it off and
logging the incident. *If* you see this, it might be a good idea to do
this. And yes, it would perhaps affect the scoring a bit, if you
turned them all off.
You should also check over any digest checks... All this would
probably be very obvious (one would hope, at least:-) if you do a
spamassassin -D -t < /path/to/test/file

Hopefully this all is passing the language barrier OK... I think we'll
stick with english though... I suspect your Swedish is even
worse;-):-)... And that are the two languages I'm really fluent in,
so...:/

Cheers
