All good rules, actually some servers are new for me.

But I noticed other issue, usually every smtp server uses also RBL
servers to block spam and so do I. But if rule order counts, then at
least in me sendmail.mc dnsbl rules are BEFORE than milter-greylist rules.

So I presume, that first sendmail dnsbl rules deny all senders listed in
rbl servers and later milter-greylist just delays these sender, who pass
the sendmail dnsbl rules.

Using different rbl servers in sendmail and milter-greylist, may give
some result, but usually most rbl serves includes quite identical data,
so seems, that if I'm using sendmail dnsbl rules, there is no point to
use milter-greylist dnsbl at all?
