Spamhaus or Barracuda enable?

[edjones]

Did this: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=142

Did this: Use RBL Blocking: Yes

Can I just add spamhaus or barracuda directly to the use_rbl_domains file? Then it'll start blocking spam for everyone on my servers?

Hello,

If you want to change a list of filters you want to use you should update /etc/exim.conf to meet your needs.

For SpamBlocker it's the following lines:

# deny using spamhaus
  deny message = Email blocked by SPAMHAUS - to unblock see http://www.example.com/
       # only for domains that do want to be tested against RBLs
        hosts = !+relay_hosts
       domains = +use_rbl_domains
       !authenticated = *
       dnslists = zen.spamhaus.org

# deny using njabl
  deny message = Email blocked by NJABL - to unblock see http://www.example.com/
       hosts = !+relay_hosts
       domains = +use_rbl_domains
       !authenticated = *
       dnslists = dnsbl.njabl.org

# deny using cbl
#  deny message = Email blocked by CBL - to unblock see http://www.example.com/
#       hosts = !+relay_hosts
#       domains = +use_rbl_domains
#       !authenticated = *
#       dnslists = cbl.abuseat.org

## deny using sorbs name based list
#  deny message = Email blocked by SORBS - to unblock see http://www.example.com/
#       domains =+use_rbl_domains
#       # rhsbl list is name based
#       dnslists = rhsbl.sorbs.net/$sender_address_domain

and for SpamBlocker 4 here it is:

#EDIT#41:
  deny message = Email blocked by $dnslist_domain
       hosts    = !+relay_hosts
       domains = +use_rbl_domains
       domains = !+skip_rbl_domains
       !authenticated = *
       dnslists = \
       cbl.abuseat.org : \
       dnsbl.njabl.org : \
       bl.spamcop.net : \
       dnsbl.ahbl.org : \
       combined.rbl.msrbl.net : \
       b.barracudacentral.org : \
       zen.spamhaus.org : \
       hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.2

Check the first 2-3 lines in /etc/exim.conf to find your version.

# SpamBlocker.exim.conf.2.1.1-release #
# 05-Jun-2007 #
# Runtime configuration file for DirectAdmin/Exim 4.24 and above #
# Requires exim.pl dated 20-Apr-2007 17:09 or later #

It's a fresh install only 2 months old, so I reckon this is the latest version.

To enable RBL follow this http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=142
Or do it in directadmin Admin Level login -> administrator settings -> scroll the page down.

p.s. You can still upgrade SpamBlocker.exim.conf.2.1.1 to SpamBlocker 4.1 (the latest release), which is not included by default.

And if you're making changes to SpamBlocker Version 4, then be sure to read the README file, here (nobaloney.net); to read the specific instructions for the blocklist section, search for EDIT#41.
