connection refused resolving '166.170.166.108.bb.barracudacentral.org

I haven't been paying much attention to the spamd entries in my syslog
until I upgraded my Ubuntu 14.04 desktop to 16.04 and started running
tail on my syslog daily and noticed the issue with barracudacentral.org
and resl.emailreg.org. I started to notice the below entries. Looking
back through a years or so of hourly syslog snippets I found that all
was ok on 19 May this year

May 19 11:08:14 localhost named[1081]: success resolving
'205.6.174.108.bb.barracudacentral.org/A' (in
'bb.barracudacentral.org'?) after disabling EDNS

On the 23rd of May the below started happening:

spamd[7099]: spamd: connection from ip6-localhost [::1]:57298 to port
783, fd 5
localhost spamd[7099]: spamd: setuid to chris succeeded

'166.170.166.108.resl.emailreg.org/A/IN': 174.129.248.63#53

Which continues through today. Is there a ruleset I can change or
something else I can do to stop this being queried?�

Info on my SA is:

SpamAssassin Server version 3.4.1
� running on Perl 5.22.1
� with SSL support (IO::Socket::SSL 2.024)
� with zlib support (Compress::Zlib 2.068)

Also Ubuntu 16.04.1LTS

Hmm, that seemed to work when I inserted what you put above for a
couple of scans but now it's back

Thanks RW that took care of the 'barracudacentral' problem. My scan
times are still running way too long and I'm sure it's due to:

Aug 17 09:22:57 localhost named[25689]: connection refused resolving
'11.134.201.205.resl.emailreg.org/A/IN': 174.129.248.63#53

The seem to work together when scanning. I'll do some Googling and see
what I can come up with on emailreg.

Chris

You can disable bb.barracudacentral.org with:

score RCVD_IN_BRBL_LASTEXT   0

but that one is working for me.


resl.emailreg.org isn't working for me and doesn't appear to be in the
default rules.
