It can use SORBS and Spamhaus, *plus* other things. => Spamassassin works quite well, but the real trick is to reject as much as possible before reception is complete. If you can use an RBL is sendmail vs an RBL check in spamassassin then the choice is clear: Use the RBL in sendmail to cause rejection before reception is done. You will have rejected the mail and never see it, the sender knows you refused it, and load on your server will go down. -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
