Hi,

Thanks for all of the helpful tips.

1) I process about 30,000 e-mails a day, so I am good there.

2) The "dig" trick does indeed return a positive response.

3) It looks like I borked something in my sendmail.cf, because when I 
send a test message to see if Zen is working, here is what I get by 
sending a message to nelson-sbl-test@crynwr.com

Testing your SBL block.  See http://www.crynwr.com/spam/ for more info.
Please note that this test will not tell you if your server is open for
relaying.  Instead, it tests to see if your server blocks email from IP
addresses listed in various blocking lists; in this case, the SBL list.

Here's how the conversation looked from sbl.crynwr.com.
Note that some sites don't apply the SBL block to postmaster, so
I use your envelope sender as the To: address.

220  ESMTP

Successful termination.  As far as I can tell, the email was delivered.
That might not be what you want.

Blech - do off to debug my sendmail.cf or try to rebuild it.  I was very 
lazy / naughty and did a lot of manual editing instead of using the .mc 
files.  *sigh* - I will never make that mistake again.

Thanks for all the help though!  ;-)

Mike
