Skipping Blacklists

Is there a way to tell SA to skip blacklist checks against certain IP
pools?  I still want all other tests run but the IP may be listed in
SORBS-DUHL and others due to being dynamic.

Actually if you use SMTP-AUTH & everything is working correctly you
-don't- want to add your users' IP addrs to trusted_networks. Those IP
addrs should only "gain trust" when properly auth'ed. (EG that
home/appartment NAT addr may have several different computers behind it
you only want to trust the one connection when auth'ed, which is what
SMTP-AUTH is for).

why? dynamic checks belong to the most powerful when checking for 
spamminess.

do your users connect through such IPs? If so, do they use SMTP 
authentication and is that authentication info visible to spamassassin?

Do you have properly set up trusted_networks as Benny suggested?
(well, if your users use authentication and SA cen see it, you would 
not even need adding those IPs to trusted_networks)

yes add this ip cidr to trusted_networks, keep in mind it also disables 
ip whitelist, but as you wish it does disable rbl for this ip

just dont add 0.0.0.0/0 :)
