RBL not working
I'm using 3.0.0-pre-3 on a Solaris 7 system running Sendmail. In debug,
I see that spamd is attempting to apply the RBL tests using URIDNSBL.
I'm seeing entries like:
<...>

<...>
Other rules seem to be working just fine. I assume that something is
preventing SpamAssassin from successfully performing these DNS lookups.
Any ideas on how to best troubleshoot this further?

Disregard this query--sorry.
It was a silly mistake. in.named was not restarting on the server
because the config file had gotten renamed somehow.

From the looks of it, pretty much all of your DNS based tests are failing,
URI and conventional.
First, check the ability of the system to resolve anything:
host www.spamassassin.org
If that doesn't work, get your DNS resolv.conf set up properly so that it's
got a working nameserver in the list.
