[Mimedefang] Using relay_check()

[Steve Robb]

Actually, that's what I am using currently (Sendmail DNSBL feature) but I
wanted to try out MD's version of it to see how it operated and if there was
any advantage to doing it one way or the other.

I'm comfortable with configuring Sendmail, it's Perl that I'm weak on so I
was hoping to get a pointer in the right direction.

Thx

Steve Robb

You also have the ability with sendmail.  Why not use this function which
will reject the message before it ever starts transmitting to your server.
You save processing power, bandwidth on you Internet link, and response time
(it rejects earlier in the "conversation").
