Re: [cobalt-users] Followup on Which RBL is best

["Franklin S Werren" <fswerren@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all;

Between Larry Smith and Dans Kriwitsky Post I did
get the RBL to work by using that RBLcode.txt

Only question... How do I put other RBL's in ????
Does it follow the same conventions as the njabl coding ???
Maybe..just Maybe I can get the spam problem under control on my server

Now to figure out the Raq 550....
