I know, I'm using a Dell system with RAID and hyperthreading. I found a
customized Dell-ISO on the Debian/Dell-site, which was Woody. I've updated
it to 2.6.8-2-686-smp.

Yes, I just didn't notice that the splitting of files was Debian-specific, I
thought it was a general choice on other distro's too.

I'm using freenode.

I'll do that, thanks.

Are you sure? If I make changes in -config_check_rcpt like
drop
    log_message = match sb1-xb1.spamhaus.org
    dnslists = sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org

they work; mail gets dropped.
I see the template file, but it doesn't seem to be used. How do I make sure?

Thanks for the help.
