cut off by spamhaus free use?

[Randal, Phil]

Replace zen.spamhaus.org with cbl.abuseat.org at the sendmail level.

and in /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf add:

score __RCVD_IN_ZEN 0.0
score RCVD_IN_SBL 0.0
score RCVD_IN_XBL 0.0
score RCVD_IN_PBL 0.0
score URIBL_SBL 0.0

Cheers,

Phil

Subject: OT: cut off by spamhaus free use?

Gang,

Has anybody ever had SpamHaus cut off the free use of DNSBL for your
site?  All of our inbound email started getting this:

reject=451 4.4.3 Temporary lookup failure of [IP number] at
zen.spamhaus.org

on Saturday morning.  I removed Zen usage from my sendmail config and my
email started flowing in again.  I looked at their usage page
(http://www.spamhaus.org/organization/dnsblusage.html)
and believe I meet their qualifications (I use caching DNS on our
sendmail box too).  But maybe they disagree; I haven't heard back.

Anybody else ever had the rug pulled out from under their email?

BTW, MailScanner and SpamAssassin are doing a great job of killing spam,
even without any DNSBL in the mix.  Today's numbers so far:

Total messages scanned:        23070
Total spams tagged:            12240
Total spams delivered:         715
Total spams deleted:           11612

Way to go Julian!  We hope you get your new liver for Christmas too.
