Bug #: 6769
Summary: dns_available described in Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
could lead to disable dns test and cause DKIM, SPF and
ASN to fail
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.3 SVN branch
Platform: PC
OS/Version: FreeBSD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified

with wrong settings here, for example dkim always return T_DKIM_INVALID,
SPF_PASS or any SPF report does not appear at all as well as no ASN report is
showing up
I suggest changing at least
You can however specify your own list by specifying
into
You can however specify your own list by specifying one or more domain names
and
and in some cases it can wrongly guess that DNS is unavailable because the test
connections failed. SpamAssassin includes a default set of 13 servers, among
which 3 are picked randomly.
and in some cases it can wrongly guess that DNS is unavailable because the test
connections failed, what cause disabling several dns dependent tests.
SpamAssassin includes an internal list, among which 3 DOMAINS are picked
randomly for checking their DNS servers.
thank's
