URIBL_SBL timeouts running MS in debug mode.

[donald.dawson at bakerbotts.com]

Phil,

Thank you for the tip - I'll implement this now.

Should I comment out or leave uncommented the following line in
spam.assassin.prefs.conf?

skip_rbl_checks 1

The notes imply that SA checking RBLs may be redundant to MS's RBL
checks.

Thanks,
Donald

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
