Hello,
I make use of SpamAssassin 4.0.0 on a low volume e-mail server. I also
run my own validating resolver with Bind 9.18.27 on the e-mail server.
The only piece of software I have in my e-mail stack that uses SORBS is
SpamAssassin. I have noticed in my resolver logs multiple entries where
a query of SORBS results in REFUSED results.
Here is an example entry:
10-May-2024 05:34:39.024 lame-servers: info: REFUSED unexpected
RCODE resolving 'rbldns10.sorbs.net/A/IN': 108.59.172.201#53
While some queries succeed and SpamAssassin appears to be able to use
SORBS, there are always *multiple* REFUSED results only for sorbs.net.
Am I exceeding the number of free queries that SORBS allows ? If so, do
I need to register with SORBS (similar to how SpamHaus requires
registration to use their DQS service) ? If so, how do I update my SA
configuration ?
Thanks,
- J
