I do the same, but if you're on an RBL you don't get through, end of

If I configure MailScanner such that if an email address is found only in one RBL, consider it spam; but SORBS contains many false positives. To remedy, I configured MailScanner to consider an email spam if it is seen in 2 spam lists. I use all the ones listed in the spam list file included with MailScanner.

Those that get through get chewed by MailScanner (and sa with the fsl bayes db and full rules emporium rules and clamd with stock and unofficial dbs) and then on to the users.
