MailScanner --debug --debug-sa and I don't see anything about it, unless
I'm missing something.

I want to try out. I don't want to try a new list on the MTA since it
outright rejects messages that hit the lists. For testing purposes, I
want MailScanner to check these other RBL's and then quarantine the
message. My users can then release the message if it is a false
positive. Once satisfied with a list choice, I'll then move it to the
MTA.

Thank you Martin! I did not consider SA doing the lookups. I'll give
that a try.
