Dear All,

i m sorry if i post this to the wrong post but really apprecite your help
guys

I had the following config for past year working perfectly fine

Centos 5.0
DNS server + sendmail on the same server

sendmail ver 8.13.8-2.el5
Mailscanner ver 4.66.5

In my sendmail.mc file i had the following RBLs

FEATURE(`dnsbl',`relays.ordb.org')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`list.dsbl.org')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org')dnl

this hs been workin perfectly for all this time for lmost a year but jus
yesterday i see that no mails being received

when i check the maillog i saw the standard message

Rejected: 92.83.138.190 listed at relays.ordb.org which is  normal message
if the IP is actually listed in the above server.
also i found that no mails were recived for almost about 12 hrs
so i send a mail from my server to my yahoo ccount and it was received
perfectly but when i sent a mail from my yahoo account to my local account
the mail bounced back saying that

Rejected: xx.xx.xx.xx listed at relays.ordb.org

xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip of the yahoo server

i then tried to send from my hotmail account and again the mail bounce
back with a similar error .. tht is listed at relays.ordb.org

1) now is the relays.ordb.org server has a problem or down
2) or wht else could be the problem

i have temprory commented the Faeture statement for relays.ordb.org
keeping the other 2 RBL servers enabled rebuilt the sendmail.cf file and
restarted mailscanner and now the mails are being recived perfect

appreciate your help

Regards

simon
