RE: spam blacklists

Mon, 23 Aug 2004 13:48:01 -0700 

Steve,

I am running james 2.2.0RC5 on suse linux 9.1 professional. I have tried the web check and the ip addresses are listed with several of the blacklists I am using. Below is some of my config.xml.

     <processor name="root">
        <mailet match="RelayLimit=30" class="Null"/>
        <mailet match="InSpammerBlacklist=query.bondedsender.org"
                class="ToProcessor">
          <processor> transport </processor>
        </mailet>

<mailet match="InSpammerBlacklist=sbl.spamhaus.org" class="ToProcessor">
<processor> spam </processor>
<notice> Rejected - see http://spamhaus.net/ </notice>
</mailet>
<mailet match="InSpammerBlacklist=dnsbl.njabl.org"
class="ToProcessor">
<processor> spam </processor>
<notice>550 Requested action not taken: rejected - see http://njabl.org/ </notice>
</mailet>

<mailet match="InSpammerBlacklist=relays.ordb.org"
class="ToProcessor">
<processor> spam </processor>
<notice>550 Requested action not taken: rejected - see http://www.ordb.org/ </notice>
</mailet>
<mailet match="All" class="ToProcessor">
<processor> transport </processor>
</mailet>
</processor>


     <processor name="spam">
        <mailet match="All" class="ToRepository">
           <repositoryPath>file://var/mail/spam/</repositoryPath>
        </mailet>
     </processor>

What version of James are you running?

How are these mails being injected into James? SMTP, fetchmail or some other
means?

By "spam" do you mean mail sent from or relayed by senders whose IP you know
to be on one of the RBL's lists (try the web check I suggested earlier to
confirm)?
