Thats fine - it was an example :)

I'm still interested to know - does a host or address with OK in the access
database override a domain that is blacklisted on the ENABLE(`dnsbl`) that
I am using? This would allow us to finetune the rejection process if
someone is being hosted on a known spammer and can't easily do something
about it.

Thanks in advance

PS In my error message that goes into the maillog, can I get sendmail to
printout the local user that the rejected STMP connection was going to send
the email to? At the moment I can see various spammers being rejected by my
entry but I can't see who they were trying to email. Or is this happening
at the initial connection level - before sendmail starts receiving the
various headers so it may not know who the mail is going to? It just
rejects it outright?
