It got only 10.

Good point!  But I doublechecked and found no rules with "reject".

Uhmm, and doesn't this message (to the sender):

mean that the reason for the rejection was my rule KARIBU_BLACKLIST_TO_RCPT ?
But at that point in time it did not contain any "action" setting.

behaviour I'd like to have.

Well, I'll play around some more with all the settings.

Thanks a lot for your hints,
 Andy
