Dear Mail List Members, I have been running spamassassin for many months now and I am extremely happy with the results.
This morning I received five SPAM emails that were not flagged as spam. None were tagged in an RBL. I went to a site that checks hundreds of RBL lists and sure enough the site was listed. I first tried to run spamassassin (2.61) from the command line and it produced similar results, no RBL tags. I run spamd through procmail. I went to another computer and ran spamassassin (2.44, default RH 9) on the subject email and it showed up RBL tags. I went back to the production machine and edited the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file and added "rbl_timeout 60", just in case there is a network timing issue. Reran spamassassin from the command line with the original results. I updated spamassassin using the rpms to 2.63-1 and reran the test on the production machine, using the command line, with the original results. I diff-ed the 20_dnsbl_test.cf between the 2.44 and the 2.63-1 and they are the same. I looked through my spam folder and found a RBL tagged spam and ran that I then ran through both spamassassin systems, using the command line, and both were tagged RBL. My production mail server is a P133 MHz running RH 9 behind a NATed firewall. Questions: Are all the DNSBLS in the 20_dnsbl_test.cf file? Are there others that are listed elsewhere in 2.44? Has anything changed that would affect BL between 2.44 and 2.61? Thanks, Jens
