What do you recommend for blacklist lookups? And how much blacklists does an email have to be on in order for it to be considered spam? I ran into this problem with my mail scanner today.

With that old a version you might have ORDB in your Spam Lists
setting, which will override anything you do to 'em... And ordb
"blacklist" everything ATM, I hear (it being dead, this isn't
