Well, it appears that the scores of the _BLOCKED strings are set in the file /var/lib/spamassassin/4.000001/updates_spamassassin_org/72_scores.cf by score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED_BLOCKED 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_RPBL_BLOCKED 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_SAFE_BLOCKED 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 This is also something that is updated by sa-update. So everyone should have them, this is not a local config. So I still don't understand why there is an issue specific to my machine, i.e. the fact that RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED, etc. (the strings without _BLOCKED) with a score of 0[*] still trigger a DNS request and associated error in the logs and message headers. [*] as given by /var/lib/spamassassin/4.000001/updates_spamassassin_org/50_scores.cf I recall that this file has # Validity (née ReturnPath) Certified # https://www.validity.com/resource-center/fact-sheet-certification/ # CERTIFIED is a subset of SAFE, thus the score is cumulative. # -2 + -3 = -5 points for CERTIFIED # disabled by default 2025-05-11 WKC bz#8278 score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED 0 score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_SAFE 0 score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_RPBL 0 # Uncomment these if you enable the ones above #score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_SAFE_BLOCKED 0.001 #score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED_BLOCKED 0.001 #score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_RPBL_BLOCKED 0.001 i.e. only the versions without _BLOCKED have been set to 0. The _BLOCKED versions are set by the 72_scores.cf file above, if I understand correctly. And why "Uncomment these if you enable the ones above" while the scores are already set in the 72_scores.cf file I've mentioned above? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
