I located the problem with some help from the SA mailing list. If anyone else is having problems the rbl check been run. The first thing to do is load amavid in sa-debug mode, so you can see if the rbl checks are in fact been run etc. If the DNS checks fail you need to install Net::DNS If the DNS checks pass then you need to ensure that the first nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf is working. I my case I had 127.0.0.1 running which used to be valid as I ran a local dns server, but I stopped it. It appears that Net::DNS only uses the first entry in the file, for the RBL checks at least.
