Can you? I haven't been able to, but that may be my own 
thumb-fingered-ness. I understood that the DNSBLs were checked before 
access.

Not an option in this case, but yes.

I'm going to add a similar page to our server. I think that's the best way 
to work, because in reality, we're the ones rejecting the mail, so we're 
the source of the "problem" as seen by the user.

I'm also going to add links to Habeas <http://www.habeas.com/> as a way of 
getting valid mail past our blocks, and add step-by-step instructions for 
setting up the Cobalts' sendmail to whitelist Habeas on my anti-spam page.
