Hi John, It required authentication for external connections so it is not an open-relay. So you meant I am doing the right thing by removing the line from /var/qmail/control/blacklists ?

Is that what you talking about? DNSBL tests should not be applied to locally-originated messages. Your local network probably uses an address range that appears on the zen DNSBL. Ask on the qmail list how to apply a DNSBL to external mail but not to internal-network mail clients. Either that, or I am misunderstanding your question. Are you saying you're using roaming outlook mail clients from the internet at large to send email via your MTA? If you are using authentication, then the DNSRBL should not be used (again, that's a question for the qmail list). If you are _not_ using authentication, and are accepting and relaying mail from the internet at large, and zen is interfering with that, then you have bigger problems than your SA scores being low. It sounds like you're what's called an "open relay"... > -----Original Message----- > From: John Hardin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>> http://www.keac.com/id3303/spam-egs.txt >> >> 3.0 RCVD_IN_XBL RBL: Received via a relay in Spamhaus XBL >> [68.243.81.116 listed in zen.spamhaus.org] > > Indeed. > > Suggestion: put zen.spamhaus.org in your MTA's DNSBL list.
