Thanks for the reply Sean. I was doing some digging after my posting to
the list, and found "virbl.bit.nl".
I currently use spambouncer to address the many BL (block lists) but I
was intrigued by the idea of having Sendmail process it, rather than have
a procmail process generate overhead to reference yet another block list.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but are there any good online resources for
configuring virBL ??
Er, by definition a BL is a blocklist. Next, Ruud's statement about
blocking "at the gate" would indicate this blocking is done before message
reception - i.e. blocking mail originating from hosts known to be spewing
forth viruses.
I would expect this would be implemented just as with any other DNSBL. See
<http://moensted.dk/spam/> for an example list of DNSBLs. In there, you'd
find VIRBL:
