[OT] Can one make surbl work without any other RBL tests?

[Fred <sp...@freddyt.com>]

Sorry for the offtopic post, I really don't want to join another group for
one question.

Would it be possible to use the SURBL plugin and still use -L to disable all
other RBL tests?

Could one just change the tflag to not be net and allow this to work?  I use
mimedefang and really don't like the performance when enabling net-tests.  I
would like to benefit from using this new plugin but I don't want all other
network tests enabled.  I'd rather not hack up anything in the stock code.

Thanks,

Thanks, I thought that might work, but I wasn't sure if there was anything
inside of SA telling it NOT to make the querry if -L was specified.  I guess
the only thing doing this is the tflag = net setting.

I just ommited the tflag line from the rule.

I don't enable the net tests either because of all of the problems the
RBLs were having a few months ago.  SURBL seems promising and I'll
eventually setup the lookups locally on our anti-virus/anti-spam box.

A BIG THANKS to all who contribute to surbl, bigevil, etc.  My users love
their cleaner inboxes. :))

Rather than hack up the code, you could also just set the scores of all the 
other RBLs to 0 in your local.cf.

Rules with 0 score do not run, and RBLs with 0 score don't generate network 
queries.

ie:

score RCVD_IN_SBL 0
score RCVD_IN_RFCI 0
score RCVD_IN_DSBL 0

etc.
