See topic 'tcpserver' maybe I should have been more descriptive, it is an effort to try and address this. My idea is if one is going to do an rblcheck anyway why not address this at the
/var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run level with tcpserver.

What I am thinking is the rblcheck comes after the initial tcpserver connection anyway, so if one had a set of other qualifying rules (probably specific to their mail system), why not do some of the
'culling' at that level, before it even reaches spamassassin.

Let's face it, whereas one does not want to become too conservative in this manner, I firmly believe by establishing certain criteria up front, will (eventually) force ISP compliance to certain rules. Having worked with ISP's and being gouged to comply with reverse PTR's by major players, this is not a half bad idea, reverse DNS is important, simply because analyzing most of the spam I receive that makes it past spamassassin, in a large part come from dialup's (what I am seeing
is around 40%).

So here is the theory, cull out mail at the lowest possible level, so if doing a lookup at the tcpserver level against a "*.cdb" in the run script, stops it there, there is no need to go further.

Hi all

Is there a way to mark a mail as spam in a similar way of the one done by spamassassin, but using only rbl lookup?

I'm searching something like qmail-rblchk of (www.morettoni.net) wich could be installed system wide ( qmailqueue ?) and doesn't use .qmail .

The idea is this: if a mail comes from a listed ip then deliver it to a specific maildir (or put a specific header inside and deliver normally). If it's not listed deliver normali through qmailqueue/spamassassin.

Whitout rbl lookups the spam is too high, with rbl there are too many false positives.

thanks in advance
