[BlueOnyx:20055] Re: 5209R Sendmail hanging - please read

Chris, Michael,

  I am also seeing this issue (smtp-auth connections denied due to
black/block lists.  Was running AV-SPAM 6.2.0-3 but have updated
and will see how that does.

 Where am I missing the clamav-milter in the GUI, don't see it.
