Anybody else getting this in their email headers with spamassassin enabled?

0.0 RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_RPBL_BLOCKED RBL: ADMINISTRATOR NOTICE: The query to Validity was blocked. See https://knowledge.validity.com/hc/en-us/articles/20961730681243 for more information.

The validity page says to sign up for an account and give them the server’s IP address, which I did, but no change in the results. I suspect it’s because the relevant IP address is the DNS server I’m querying, not my own server.
 
this is normally, because if you not config in spamassassin, it will use the server resolver.

add this to "/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf"
Code: 
dns_server 127.0.0.1
 
Thanks. I did that, but I’m still seeing the message in email headers.

I sent Validity a support request and will update this thread if I get a response.
 
I have similar problem.
I created account with my ip at Validity.
I added "dns_server 127.0.0.1" to "/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf" restarted spamassassin and problem still exist. I got (after 2 days):

Yes it's a known problem. Also at cPanel they have a lot of issues with that in such way that cPanel themselves even wrote a manual on how to disable doing queries for validity by Spamassassin.

We got a whole thread about that from last march too.

Thread 'SPAMD - scoring messed up by validity-rules'

we actually experience a lot of unscored spam due to failing SA-rules

Code: 
Mar 04 13:43:36 host spamd[1348102]: check: dns_block_rule RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED_BLOCKED hit, creating /root/.spamassassin/dnsblock_sa-trusted.bondedsender.org (This means DNSBL blocked you due to too many queries. Set all affected rules score to 0, or use "dns_query_restriction deny sa-trusted.bondedsender.org" to disable queries)

you could have better posted in that one then in this, because this one is a year older. Especially check post #15 there from me.

I ended up doublechecking my RBL list and the Spamassassin list and removed my Validity account and blocked Spamassassin from doing queries to validity. Also I took care that either RBL or Spamassassin (but not both) were doing queries to RBL's. End of problem.
