RE: i5 spam reduction

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Jeff, I think we use the ones you had in Domino.  When we also frontended 
with Sprint for relay blocking only (at this time) our spam dropped even 
more dramatically.  I'd like to know their sites and/or methods.

The ones I put in are:

list.dsbl.org
bl.spamcop.net

I don't think the I5 mail has that ability.  But based on this week's
experience, I could be looking right at it and not see it.
