thanks for the responses!. currently:<br>
<br>
I am <br>
- rejecting at MTA (sendmail) if in xbl-sbl or sorbs dul<br>
- spam list checking in Mailscanner<br>
- checking all other RBLs in spamassassin<br>
<br>
I bumped spamcom to 3.0 and am bumping a few of the other RBLs as well.<br>
I guess I am going to turn off spam-checking in Mailscanner.<br>
it seems like it is redundant to do it in MTA and in Mailscanner. <br>
<br>
What I would really like is a rbl-emulator - I think it would be simple
to implement<br>
something which could check a number of rbls, in the way spamassassin
does (i.e. with a weighted score)<br>
and then return the proper dns record if the total is higher than some
value, else return NXDOMAIN<br>
<br>
That way I have the advantage of rejection at MTA:<br>
no overhead of processing/storing "spam/virus"..<br>
but also minimize the risk associated with rejecting mail at MTA based
on RBL inclusion<br>
(e.g. bad rbl entries, infinite monkeys...) <br>
<br>
does anyone here know if such a thing already exists?<br>

<pre wrap="">Use the rbl checks in spamassassin for RBL's you don't want to rely on.
That way you add a bit for each BL the message hits.

<pre wrap=""><!---->You can also "bump" the score of RBLs in the spam.assassin.prefs.conf For
example:
score RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET 2
would add 2 points for any email listed in spamcop
