Hi all,

I am having an issue at the moment with some spam getting into our mail
system. Its seems that the RBL check is not being carried out. Relevant
config lines are as follows

Spam Checks = yes
> Spam List = spamhaus-ZEN barracuda
> Spam Lists To Be Spam = 1
> Spam List Timeout = 10
>


If I run a manual check of a listed IP address using dig I get the
following results

dig 86.38.186.83.zen.spamhaus.org.
> ; <<>> DiG 9.7.3-P3-RedHat-9.7.3-8.P3.el6_2.2 <<>>

I have RBL checks disabled in spam.assassin.prefs.conf (skip_rbl_checks 1)
on the basis that I want MailScanner to do them. The system is running
MailScanner 4.84.3 on Cent OS

Anybody seen this before  ?

Cheers,
John
