I'm not sure I am posting in the right forum section, so please let me know if not. I can repost wherever you'll tell me to (or the Admin can probably move the thread in a better area).
Here is my problem:
One of the main Internet Service Provider of my area, Bell Canada, have had some of their relay hosts blacklisted by SORBS as being spammer hosts. SpamBlocker does what it's supposed to do in this case, and rejects any email it receives from those hosts. The problem is that many of my clients are using this ISP to send/relay their emails, and they get rejected by my server as spam mail...
I have the following lines in my exim.conf file:
deny message = Email blocked by SORBS (spam) - Listed at $dnslist_domain\n$dnslist_text
# only for domains that do want to be tested against RBLs
domains = +use_rbl_domains
dnslists = dnsbl.sorbs.net=127.0.0.6
It generates entries like this in the reject.log:
2009-05-25 14:18:47 H=tomts52-srv.bellnexxia.net [209.226.175.177] F=<[email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Email blocked by SORBS (spam) - Listed at dnsbl.sorbs.net
I have tried to add "bellnexxia.net" in the /etc/virtual/whitelist_domains file, but it didn't change anything. I guess it's normal since bellnexxia.net is a "relay", not an email "domain".
So the question is... Where can I add the "bellnexxia.net" relay domain name so that emails relayed through a server in that domain are NOT blocked by spam blocker?
Sub-question: I also have SpamAssassin running on the server. I want all emails to continue to be scanned by SpamAssassin, whether I whilelist the relay host for SpamBlocker or not.
Thanks in advance!
