Multiple confusions on my part.

[Steve Campbell]

Thanks Martin and Julian;

I'm still seeing the DNSBL-A, junk in the debug output, but I can keep 
digging for that.

I never knew where all those DNSBL checks came from, so that was a big 
help Martin.

The new init script seem to work. I tried stopping, starting, reloading 
and anything else I could think of and the only problem I found was that 
when I did a stop, my phone rang! :-)

So thanks every one for the help.

Steve
