[Mimedefang] RBL's

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Agreed.  RBLs in outright blocking mode will cause ludicrously high False
Positives (depending on your choice of RBLs--some are much much much much
worse than others).

Assigning a score based on each RBLs individual credibility or using them in
conjunction with additive combo rules is the only way to use an RBL.
