Topic: RBLList and SBLList

[Seeker]

What is the difference with these and what does the SBLList=dsn.rfc-ignorant.org do?

I see in the config
RBLList=sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org,whois.rfc-ignorant.org,dnsbl.njabl.org,relays.ordb.org

and

SBLList=dsn.rfc-ignorant.org

Thanks for the heads up on that resource.

I did a search for RBLList and saw what I pretty much know now. A search for SBLList came up empty so I'm no farther ahead.

From bug#596 [http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596] - courtesy Shad Lords

A RBL list looks up the IP address of the connecting host to see if it has been
involved in spam.  A SBL list looks up the domain of the helo/mail from/from
entries and checks against different things.

The default entry rejects domains that don't allow bounce messages.

These two lookup are very similar one just does it on IP and the other on
domain name.

Hope it helps.
