Keep in mind, if you really want to test to make sure mail is atleast
flowing, change the port that assp listen's on to a non standard port,
then telnet to that port locally and send your self an email...=20

Best of luck going live.  Feel free to email me directly if you run into

any snags.

spamLovers will allow messages through that would have been blocked by=20
Bayesian or various black lists and regular expression (RE) lists.  This

however does not include RE lists that are used to block mail early=20
during the transaction.  For example:  Functions that block early are=20
the Penalty Box (PB) and the Validate Sender test.  These tests block=20
mail during the initial connection phases (IP address, HELO, etc), so=20
they block prior to the message body content.  These tests are=20
considered "early" tests.  These early tests work very well, and because

they will reject a connection early in the transaction, less data is=20
transfered and ASSP experiences less load over-all.

Per my above comments, yes.
