Re: [vchkpw] problems with rbls?
Hi, I removed relays.osirusoft.com this morning because of timeouts.

Does anyone know if any of the following rbls are slow or non-functional? Starting at about 2PM EST, my smtp concurrency shot through the roof, which is usually a sign that one of the rbls i am using isn't working properly. anyone know of any problems with the following rbls: korea.services.net relays.ordb.org relays.osirusoft.com sbl.spamhaus.org spews.relays.osirusoft.com If nothing is wrong, any reason why my smtp concurrency would shoot up to its maximum? I am watching the smtp log roll by and it doesn't seem to be an attack from any one address.. TIA Brendan
Re: [vchkpw] problems with rbls?
Yeah, since I couldn't load osirusoft.com in my browser, I figured they were having a problem. So, since removing those entries, my concurrency is back at normal levels, although spam is now higher. argh Brendan On Monday, January 6, 2003, at 07:04 PM, Rick Macdougall wrote: Hi, I removed relays.osirusoft.com this morning because of timeouts.

The frustrating part is that the -t option (timeout) for rblsmtpd doesn't appear to work. Anyone taken a stab at fixing this? I'd prefer that rblsmtpd default to allow the connection if the rbl cannot be reached in x seconds. Regards, Bill Shupp

I'd prefer that rblsmtpd default to allow the connection if the rbl cannot be reached in x seconds. the -t option has to go at the _end_ of the declarations, rather than at the beginning where most options go. not sure why. but works for me: -rorbs.dorkslayers.com -rrelays.ordb.org -rrelays.visi.com -t15 will end the conversation at precisely fifteen seconds if it's not complete by then.

Excellent, thanks for the tip. I'll try that. Regards, Bill Shupp
Re: [vchkpw] problems with rbls?
