Where does sendmail "default" to using the MAPS RBL? Not a single "default" mc file contains any reference to it:

If I get some time in between spammers sending me "snowwhite", half the known world trying to send me "code red worm", and people reporting yet another copy of "SirCam", (did I mention marginal-to- senseless flame-fights here?) I'll look it up. . . But in the meantime, I am going to allege that the default .cf that HP sends with H-PUX 10.20 and 11.0 has it in it. I'll give you that it may be commented outm=, but the HP folk (I think) tell you to uncomment it. As usual, I reserve the right to be wrong.

$ grep dnsbl /usr/local/src/sendmail-8.12.0.Beta17/cf/cf/*.mc $

It must be explicitly enabled with the FEATURE(dnsbl) rule in your sendmail.mc file.

Try to connects facts and reality before making statements like that, ok? Unless, of course, you work in M$'s FUD department, in which case, its part of the job description, and understandable.
