RBLs

[Kevin Miller]

Thank Glenn.  I was hoping I could leverage the same spam lists that spamassassin is using by default, without having to query them a second time.  Of course, the caching DNS server should minimize the impact but one stop shopping is more to be preferred.  No matter.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods…

Hi Kevin!

The "Spam Lists" thing in MailScanner has nothing to do with the Spamassassin thing. The Spam Lists are queried by MailScanner proper, an in a serial fashion. Keep it fown to a bare minimum of well-trusted RBLs and let 1 hit -> blocked... SA foes it's lookups in parallel, so should handle the bulk of the lookups. The Spam Lists to be Spam setting, is only coupled to the Spam List setting.

Cheers!

Spamassassin now includes a number of RBLs by default.  It seems they get queried regardless of whether I specify them in the "Spam Lists" configuration option.  Does it matter whether or not they are included in "Spam Lists" to trigger the "Spam Lists To Be Spam" threshold?  I.e, if they're in two spam lists, but the RBL lists aren't explicitly listed in MailScanner.conf, will the counter still increment and tag the email as definite spam even if it doesn't quite reach the normal spam score (5.0 in my case)?

Thanks...
