I used to check the RBL's at the SMTP level, but this results in people not being able to send mail to any addr at sourceware. People who were RBL'ed couldn't subscribe, unsubscribe, complain to the list owner, or do anything else @sourceware. This was particularly lame for e.g. announce lists -- the people subscribing will never post a note, so excluding them just because they're RBL'ed was unnecessary. (incidentally, this was one of the reasons for leaving the 'sourcemaster' @cygnus.com; people needed some non-sware addr to complain to) The check-rbls.sh (or whatever that script is called) being in the DIR/editor file moves the check down to the point where someone is trying to post a note to the list. It also let me customize the bounce message to provide better explanations about the note was rejected. I think the rejection note user used to get had a message like "400 - Your host is listed in ORBS.". J
