[ale] DSPAM

[Matthew Brown]

Hmm...  Haven't seen any RBL trouble still.  I have noticed major issues
using the FQDN settings in postfix.  It seems most folks don't know or don't
care how to set up a mail server.  What a myopic bunch we are!

It was RBL issues that seemed to have caused much of my spamassassin
problems. Suddenly, most of my clients began not receiving expected emails
due to a poisoning of the RBL's.  I went through and changed out the RBL's
and still had problems. I had to begin delivering even the high scoring spam
mail which ruined the email process. 

Grr. Spammers.
