RE: [cobalt-users] How can I configure Raq4 mail to use blacklists?

["Mark Jaggers" <mjaggers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Zeffie,

Maybe I am doing something wrong but I took the cobalt.mc file from my
server and pasted it into your site.  I then added the blacklist entries
to the file and click on the Build sendmail.cf file button.  I took that
and copied it to the server and restarted sendmail.  It looked like
everything work but when I tried to send an email from outlook through
my smtp it says it cant connect to the smtp server.  Did I do something
wrong?

Mark
