Quoting Jeff_47:


I have an odd situation - it seems like I must be missing something but
I
don't know what.

In my local.cf, I had the following lines:
dns_available yes
skip_rbl_checks 0

I noticed that no RBL checks were being run.

If I change dns_available to "test" or comment out the line (same
function),
now the RBL checks are run as expected.

In SA v3.3.0:

Commenting out the line results in using the default setting. The
default setting for 'dns_available' is 'test'. Perhaps there is a DNS
issue on your server.

Thanks, I understood the part about commenting it out.

But my question is this: since 'dns_available test' results in all the
rbls being run, then doesn't that mean that the test is succeeding?  In
which case, how is that different than my entering 'dns_available yes'.

In other words, a successful test run by 'dns_available test' is not
producing the same result as 'dns_available yes' - that's where I was
surprised.

'skip_rbl_checks' is defaulted to '0'. You shouldn't have to include it.

Right.  When I was troubleshooting and not getting expected results, I
added it to be explicit.

Have you attempted doing a local (on your server) lookup of the IP address in question? What DNS servers are your server using for resolution?
