Using the .spamassassin config file with RBLs?

[nhouse]

Hello Everyone...

I tried searching through the posts to get information about this but it really wasn't clear to me... or it seemed to be about how to do this before the official DA implementation of Spamassassin.

Basically, is there a way to edit the domain Config file (I'm referring to the linked file at the bottom of the Spamassassin setup page) to utilize external RBL's? If so, can you give me an example of the proper entries?

Thanks a Ton!

AFAIK, the default SA install includes the normal DNSBL checks. The Mail::SpamAssassin:lugin::URIDNSBL plugin is loaded in /etc/mail/spamassassin/init.pre, so unless you have a "skip_rbl_checks 1" in your local.cf or are running spamd with the "-L" flag, these checks should be active.

You should see these tests for some of the spam you get, look for RCVD_IN_* messages.

Thanks for the reply... I am still learning about Spamassassin... I appreciate your input.

Need help with SpamAssassin also

Hi I saw this thread and was looking for help with setting up and configuring SpamAssassin also, I have to set up on my own server and I haven't done it before I also have a client who wants to set up custom filters using keywords in the email Subject lines that he receives, so that Spam Assassin can assign a value to his emails according to what words are in the Subject line, according to his own scheme.

Does anyone have any insight into this, and any suggestions to cut down on the Spam Assassin learning curve?

I'll do a search for the site and documentation, but I was wondering if anyone here had any insights fro personal experience.
