Quoting Thomas Schulz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I think that I will file a bug report soon. The Net::DNS make test passes on all machines. It is not the speed of the machine. I brought Solaris 8 up on the fast machine and the dnsbl test still fails most of the time. It does sometimes pass and sometimes fails with fewer subtests failing. It seems to have the fewest subtest failures just after a reboot of the machine. Looking at the log I see that a huge number of dns queries are made, perhaps more that can be handled. None the less, the dnsbl test passes every time on Solaris 10.
My hunch would be that there's a difference in the way they handle DNS resolution. You may want to check nsswitch, and especially resolv.conf. IIRC SpamAssassin only uses the first host in resolv.conf to resolve domains, including DNSBLs. (More recent versions of SA may change that; if so, make sure all the configs refer to working resolvers!)
TBH I don't remember the details of name resolution configs on Solaris, but I'd suggest that's where the problem may lie.
