If the SysAdmin is worth his weight, then he
should have an admin@(protected) address (or
postmaster account) that allows email from
anyone, black hole list or not.
Before I ditched using RBL 's all together, this
was how we had our system set up. RBL 's became
such a hassle and some really prominant ones
disappeared that I was looking for an alternative
(not to mention that I was having more and more
of our clients ending up on them, and more and
more spam was getting through, go figure...!)
I since have moved to using a
MailScanner/MailWatch/ClamAV/SpamAssassin
solution with ActiveSpamKiller (ASK) along with
Sendmail, and what a difference it has made. Spam
went to 0% overnight, with no false positives or
false negatives so far. What is more, is that
with ASK, my users take care of their own
white/black listing themselves via email. I have
not had to intervene yet! And I feel that our
Windows workstations are more secure if not
immune from Viri.
