O.k. I tried the following: - Edited /etc/hosts and added machine itself and router: 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.11 machine 10.0.0.1 router And restarted the network service (rcnetwork restart) and then... ping -c 3 router PING router (10.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from router (10.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.357 ms 64 bytes from router (10.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.351 ms 64 bytes from router (10.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.336 ms --- router ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.336/0.348/0.357/0.008 ms ping -c 3 machine PING machine (10.0.0.11) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from machine (10.0.0.11): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.033 ms 64 bytes from machine (10.0.0.11): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.023 ms 64 bytes from machine (10.0.0.11): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.012 ms --- machine ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2000ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.012/0.022/0.033/0.010 ms But still same results in SA :-? The main issue I see is that I can resolve in any program / service but SA. This machine has apache webserver and postfix+cyrus+sa+clamd+amavis mail service and have no problems with any of them... just SA fails with dnsbl checks :-) This is getting very weird. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/dnsbl-checks-time-out-tp22222481p22228286.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
