[Baruwa] Puppet install & SA/MS config

[Shawn Smith]

I have noticed that there are no RBL checks being done on my test server,
which is Centos 5.2 and installed by Puppet toaster.

Am i correct in saying that the Puppet Setup does not enable RBL checks in
SA or MailScanner ?
Does it make a diferece to Baruwa, if RBL checks are done by MailScanner or
SA?
In MailScanner.conf i noticed that the MTA = sendmail, however the Puppet
installed Exim, is that correct?

Your looking for an automated installer that pre-configures your system? That doesn't exist. You still need to configure SA, MS and your MTA.

Postfix is the easiest and recommended to use MTA for RBL checks as the message is not even processed by MS/SA.

the rbl checks are being done by exim at smtp time, there is no point in processing messages from folks who are on an rbl

the rbls in sa do not need enabling, the puppet install enables spamcop checks in mail scanner as there are too harsh to use at smtp time

that is because baruwa overides the default options in mailscanner.conf using baruwa.conf

this is exactly what puppet does, if u want to modify anything you edit either the manifests or the templates you don't have to do any configuration after running puppet

I am noticing blatant spam getting through that is coming from hosts listed in certain RBL's, should i be adding more RBL lists into exim.conf to remedy this ?

Is there any harm in letting SA or MailScanner handle RBL's so that false positives are stored and able to release to end users ?

you can do that but double check that the spamhaus queries are returning data as the could have blocked u for over querying without a feed subscription

no just my preference

That being said - let me ask a simple question.

What are the better RBL's to use?

spamhaus is the most reliable I have used

[Glenn Kelley]

y - i have seen a few (well more than a few) lately false positives from spamhaus -
thus the reason I was asking.

Thanks again however
