Ignore the Comcast thing, that was a pure coincidence. My ISP is Comcast, but that didn't have anything to do with the NS lookup that spamassassin did. I think when it runs that test it does a random main domain or ISP (I've seen sourceforge.net, linux.org, etc). Look I did it again: ----------------- debug: is Net::DNS::Resolver available? yes debug: Net::DNS version: 0.48 debug: trying (3) msn.com... debug: looking up NS for 'msn.com' debug: NS lookup of msn.com succeeded => Dns available (set dns_available to hardcode) debug: is DNS available? 1 ----------------- My /etc/resolv.conf file is pointing to my server providers nameservers. These work find, because: ----------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# nslookup msn.com Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <-- my isp namesever Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: msn.com Address: 207.68.172.246 [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# ----------------- So this has really got me stumped. I am still getting: debug: Running tests for priority: 500 debug: RBL: success for 0 of 12 queries and then it fails all the tests. I don't think my Net::DNS is working properly. I think it uses that when it does the RBL queries. Any other tips? Thanks, very frustrated here!!!
