Newbie question - how to enable nework tests with spamd

[Jim Willsher <ji...@jimwillsher.co.uk>]

Hi all,

SA 3.0.2 on CentOs 3.3, running Sendmail and procmail.

I'm getting lots of emails getting past SpamAssassing from senders who are
on the various blacklists. I know this, because when I get similar messages
on a webmail acocunt with another ISP I see:

X-RBL-Warning: 218.64.141.207 is listed at cbl.abuseat.org - Blocked - see
http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=218.64.141.207

But SA doesn't seem to be checking the RBLs.

I've looked at the page at
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/UsingNetworkTests

But my  /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin file doesn't cntain the -L or --local
entries anywhere.

What am I doing wrong?


Many thanks,


Jim

Do you have Net::DNS installed?

try running spamassassin --lint -D and see what SA has to say about DNS 
availability.
