[AMaViS-user] RBL checks when amavisd-new runs on a separate server?
Tomasz Chmielewski
problem, I sent a similar mail to spamassasin list.
I have a mail setup, where the SMTP server (Postfix) is running on a
machine with a public IP address, and amavisd-new (2.5.4) and
spamassassin (3.2.4) are running on a "filter" server in a private LAN.
Basically, "mail" server receives mail via SMTP, and the mails are
checked on another machine. After checking, SMTP server delivers clean
mail to a host where the mail is stored.
I think DNSBL/RBL tests are not working, i.e. if I connect and send an
email via telnet from my home ADSL address (which is listed on Spamhaus'
PBL), I don't see the mail gets any extra points.
Are there extra configuration steps needed when amavisd-new is running
on a separate host (different from the SMTP server)?
URIBL checks are working fine, so it's not a DNS issue.

just to "close the issue" for those who don't read spamassassin-users
(as well as for the archives). Tomasz had rbl checks disabled in
amavisd.conf.

Not in amavisd.conf ;)
RBL checks are done by spamassassin.
Main spamassassin configuration is kept in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf.
It can be overridden by a user file.
This was my case, I had rbl checks disabled in
/var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/user_prefs, but it took me some time
before I learnt that this file exists...

Thanks for the clarification.
