Topic: SME 6.0.1.-01 and Spamassassin: never a reject from RBL

[SchulzStefan]

Spamassassin installed with Swerts Knudsens install script. Spamassassin is working, spam is tagged. But I'm wondering that I never had a reject with a RBL. How can I test if RBL is working?

Thank's in advance
Stefan

Hello Ray,

thank you for your reply. I already walked through what you gave me as hint. Everything looks pretty fine. But til now, there's no reject of a RBL.

My RBLList is dnsbl.sorbs.net:dynablock.njabl.org:sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org

How can I check, if this is really working?

If you only recently enabled RBL's or put the server online, then perhaps you have not yet received any messages from sources listed on RBL lists ???

See my HOWTO also:

You may try to setup the "trusted" settings otherwise if SA cannot determine the settings itself (in my case) the RBL-lists don't work.
For example make a 10customsettings file in the /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf folder

with contents:
clear_internal_networks
clear_trusted_networks
internal_networks       192.169.106/24 127/8 <your server-ip>
(assuming your internal network has IP 192 etc.)

Then save/restart by the SA server-manager panel
