How do I know DNS test is working?

I'm using NoSpamToday (SA) -> Exchange 5.5 on WinNT4.

I have setup NST so that it uses RBL checks on all incoming emails. It seems
that NST tells SA to do the actual check, judging from what is on the NST
setup screen.

How do I know if the DNS checks are working? I've checked the NST logs but
can't find anything. Does SA use log files? I can't find any.

Hi there --

you'll need to ask NoSpamToday. Unfortunately we have no way of telling
in what way they've integrated SpamAssassin.

Previous to installing SA, I tried NST and wasn't getting anywhere with the
RBL checks. When I pressed the "authors" about the issue, they were silent
and provided no help. So, I abandoned NST after less than a week and went
with SA and CGPSA/CommuniGate Pro on my Win2K server. That installation
took less than 1 hour, and I've been a happy guy since.
