[Cialug] Ridiculous Spamassassin Behavior

[Barry Von Ahsen]

can you move it from spamassassin to postfix?  I'm doing pretty much the 
same, but the RBL checks are in postfix, not spamassassin.  postfix 
claims first match wins, and I haven't seen any problems, though I'm 
sure my user base is much smaller

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
	permit_sasl_authenticated,
	##various other checks##
	reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org

And since I have a spam gateway already in place on my firewall, I disabled spamassassin completely until I get the configuration sorted.  I wouldn't even have it at all if it weren't for the 5% of spam getting by the gateway.  As it WAS configured, I was catching close to 100% of it.  We'll see if disabling RBL lookups impacts that.
