BlacklistCheck header with SMTP over port 465 (SSL)

[eyas]

Good day,

I have a problem with Easy Spam Fighter that I cannot resolve.

When I use port 465 (SSL) to send mail over SMTP, the following header is added to the mail:

"BlacklistCheck: Blacklisted address, +50 Spam score"

This header seems to be added in the file "/etc/exim.easy_spam_fighter/check_rcpt.conf" (RBL check).

When I use port 587 (STARTTLS), this header is not added.

Does anyone know why the header is added when I use port 465 and how can I solve this issue?

Kind regards,
Bernard de Jong

Is not an issue, has been designed like that.

As far as i know John have set port 587 to don't be checked against internal rules for SPAM while port 465 is still checked.

If you got that score it may be that your Home/Office IP is in some RBL, anyway you can still use TLS with port 587 safely and bypass those checks.

For further details you may need to open a ticket to DA Support Staff

Best regards

Hello,

With SMTPAUTH it should not be an issue independently on used port if I'm not missing anything. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

As far as John told me, on port 587 all the internall Spam checks are exluded, while on port 465 are executed (no matter about auth/ssl)

Best regards
