RBLList

config delprop qpsmtpd  RBLList
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases

gives

RBLList=bl.spamcop.net:combined.njabl.org:dnsbl.ahbl.org:dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net:dnsbl-2.uceprotect.net:list.dsbl.org:multihop.dsbl.org:psbl.surriel.com:zen.spamhaus.org

so why are we saying the following, isn't sme best practice

Many will argue what's best but most would agree that you can set best-practice recommended settings by:

config setprop qpsmtpd RBLList zen.spamhaus.org:whois.rfc-ignorant.org:dnsbl.njabl.org
signal-event email-update

If I'm interpreting your question/post correctly....

I think the "best-practise" comment came from an earlier recommendation for "conservative" settings for RBLList. These settings were seen as non agressive, whereas the default settings that were in sme 7.0 (I think it was 7.0) when it was released, were more agressive and perhaps would block mail that some people wanted to receive.

Perhaps the words "best-practise recommended" should be replaced with "conservative non agressive".
