Yes. Enabling is simple, just have the rule in place. Disabling is simple, just set the score for the rule to 0. Writing your own is a little harder... If you do a "perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf" you'll see all the config options, which include rules. I don't know if there's a specific doc that talks about writing rules, but there's probably some pointers on the wiki, etc. Otherwise, looking through the default rules would be good. :) > So to see if an ip or hostname is in the RBL it would make a request to the > RBL servers > on port 53 just like DNS queries? > > I have my firewall setup to only allow DNS queries to go out to my DNS > servers.

SA (via Net::DNS) will use whatever DNS server you configure the machine to use, so there's probably nothing special you'll have to do if you already allow DNS traffic to your nameserver. -- Randomly Selected Tagline: My favorite mythical creature?
