Hahaha, man, that brings back memories. When I first joined the service 
provider, they had sendmail on the frontline mailservers.

Cor, your team sure stuck with sendmail far longer than I did. The 
service provider had an inhouse sendmail mysql table lookup patch. After 
a year I had to rip that out of the system and put in postfix which had 
conveniently got not just mysql lookup support but also connection 
pooling. This was back in 2003. You've been keeping at sendmail all this 
time? You must have loads of nice hardware. postfix easily handled the 
bounce floods and absorbed spikes in the mail load. You bet it was much 
more efficient than sendmail.

Excuse me? I don't remember seeing you on spam-l. Spammers have Outblaze 
marked as their enemy and you come out and say Outblaze has cleaned up 
their act? Please try saying that on spam-l. I want to see how they 
laugh you off the list. Then there is the fact that Outblaze does not do 
bulk mail. I guess you also block Yahoo, Hotmail, Google as well as they 
have way more scammers and scripters than Outblaze can hope to attract. 
Seasoned scammers avoided Outblaze domains because I had active filters 
searching for their accounts with kill on sight set to auto and Suresh 
doing the same for reports that come in for accounts used by 
'processing' accomplices. I hope you have somebody else on your list 
because Outblaze is widely considered whitehat.

If you ever run into issues, I am sure Wietse and his lieutenants will 
be able work out your problem very quickly or add the necessary code.

Geez...where is Giorgos? I thought he had a problem needing solving?
