Do you think it is possible to use the DNS test to query DNS blacklists?
And if so, could you please point me in the right direction for settings?
Thaaaaanks! |

Hi Alex,
Your solution works.
However, I'm still puzzled on how this has worked until the 14.01 update.

Have a good one! |

It looks like when it changes to 'WARNING', the %AckRecurrences% are reset as well, making it 'BAD' again... and so on  |
