Not sure if this should go here on in the general email forum...
I am currently not using spamblocker but am using various dnsbls for spamassassin scoring which works OK but is fairly high on resource usage.
I am considering blocking some email on delivery using spamblocker (now I have a good idea of the relative accuracy of the various services) but have one concern:
I have several email accounts which are collected by the server using fetchmail (from a pop box on another server) rather than being delivered directly by smtp. Does this matter? Emails collected by fetchmail are passed through exim so will spamblocker do anything with this email or will it only see the last (local) server address which should not be blacklisted! If it does find somthing it doesn't like what would happen to the email, as it can't be refused as normal can it?
The one thing stopping me from just trying it to see what happens is that the last thing I want to do is to bounce messages back to a forged address and become a spammer myself!
Any help greatly appreciated
