Re: MSBL Email Blocklist (EBL) SA usage query
N.B. that the HASHBL_EMAIL initial installed -- as distributed --
SCORE is set to a lowly 1 in hashbl.cf, viz.:
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::HashBL HashBL.pm
ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::HashBL
header HASHBL_EMAIL eval:check_hashbl_emails('ebl.msbl.org')
describe HASHBL_EMAIL Message contains email address found on the EBL
score HASHBL_EMAIL 1.0
endif
Highly Recommended you up it to at least 5 (ours is presently set at 9).
In the many months we’ve been using the EBL SA Plugin we have yet to
see a single FP and with the 9 SCORE we are able to blocking this type
of drop box spam at the SMTP level with SA with scores at 15 or
greater!

In general they are supposed to go in .pre files because those files
are loaded earlier in the start-up process. With most plugins you can
get away with loading them late, but a minority wont work correctly.

interesting, because "as distributed" & installed on Debian, it's in our .cf file (and we've had no "problems"/"issues")!
But thanks for the comments.

this line must not be in cf file but should be in pre file
# cat hashbl.pre
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::HashBL
/path-to-custom-sa-plugins/HashBL.pm
# cat hashbl.cf
