Check /var/log/syslog if you don't have maillog

# grep RBL /var/log/syslog

  I don't have any entries in /var/log/maillog that would lead me to
believe that MailScanner has blocked any messages from an RBL'ed site...
That's why I wanted to make sure that MailScanner logged this, and to
find out what the log entry would look like when it did. Perhaps I
should have been a bit more clear :-)

  Could you copy one of your RBL'ed log entries into an email so I would
know what they were supposed to look like if I were getting them?

  Thanks!

Check your /var/spool/maillog it should indicate which RBL was mentioned
in
the detection

Hello,





  I have MailScanner configured to use the RBL's ORDB-RBL and
Infinite-Monkeys, and SpamAssassin configure to skip_rbl_checks.





  When MailScanner marks a message as spam because it is in the RBL,
does
it log this? If so, what does the log entry look like?





  Is there a way to test to make sure MailScanner is marking mail that
is
from an RBL'ed site as spam?





  Thanks,


  Dale Lovelace
