If you're using a bunch of rbls in your blacklists file I suspect
you'll want to edit 25_uribl.cf and comment out
#uridnsbl URIBL_SBL sbl.spamhaus.org. TXT
#body URIBL_SBL eval:check_uridnsbl('URIBL_SBL')
#describe URIBL_SBL Contains an URL listed in the SBL
blocklist
#tflags URIBL_SBL net
#reuse URIBL_SBL
As well as set skip_rbl_checks to 1 in local.cf? ...to avoid
duplication of effort as Eric suggests. Though I suspect that info
doesn't necessarily belong in that location in the wiki.
first off, if you do this you'll also need to edit /usr/share/
spamassassin/50_scores.cf and comment out the line
score URIBL_SBL 0 0.629 0 0.996
since otherwise SA will complain that you're assigning scores to a
nonexistent rule when you run `spamassassin -D --lint` (which is a
good idea to run after every change you make to the SA config)
on the other hand, if your system is not tight on resources, i would
recommend not doing this. why? because in my experience so far,
rblsmtpd is only effective on messages that are relayed from a
blacklisted host directly to you. even after i added more servers
to /var/qmail/control/blacklists, i was still receiving significant
amounts of spam, since spammers were relaying mail through open
relays, but the spams were passing through trusted systems before
they got to me, and so rblsmtpd was letting them in.
now that i've enabled SURBL and DNSBL checks in SA, even though those
spams still get in, they're accurately tagged so that my users' MUAs
can deal with them appropriately.
