SURBL Rules Not Being Used
Hello,
The SURBL Rules do not appear to be working for me. I think I am
missing something basic.
The test:
First Test: Telnet into my MTA and manually enter the SMTP
Commands to send an email from a bogus address, email content is the same as
the other tests.
Second Test: Using a local .eml file I have a hyper link to
http://test.surbl.org I then pass with file to either spamassassin or spamc
Third Test: Send an email from a yahoo account with the same
content.
The "spamc -R" report from the first and second tests:
pts rule name description
---- ----------------------
--------------------------------------------------
0.2 NO_REAL_NAME From: does not include a real name
-2.8 ALL_TRUSTED Did not pass through any untrusted hosts
0.1 DNS_FROM_AHBL_RHSBL RBL: From: sender listed in dnsbl.ahbl.org
My Configuration:
Debian 3.1
SpamAssassin 3.0.3-2 (From Debian)
Bind9 (from Debian)
Spamd started with " --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir"
What I have tested:
Net::DNS is installed. Use a simple Perl Script to Test
DNS Resolving via the Bind9 works.
SpamAssassin is resolving the DNS_FROM_AHBL_RHSBL rule.
No entry in local.cf for skip_rbl_checks, rbl_timeout
No changes to any scores.
TIA
Tim

Found it. I hade two versions of Perl installed, spamassassin was picking up
the test install I did of version 6. Which had no Net::DNS installed.

Any other ideas?

Hi,
Although it appears Net::DNS is working, what version is it ? I've
never gotten 0.49 - 0.52 to work correctly. 0.48 and 0.53+ all work fine.
HTH,

Note that test.surbl.org won't work because surbl.org is not
blacklisted, and the code reduces a .com to the second level
before checking.
Instead use:
http://surbl-org-permanent-test-point-MUNGED.com/
or:
http://127.0.0.2-MUNGED/
without the "-MUNGED"s. This is from:
