Bug ID: 6922
Summary: DNSWL queries should use local data if possible
Product: Spamassassin
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Rules
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Rules hard code 'list.dnswl.org' in the eval:check_rbl(). That string has to
be hardcoded somewhere, but possibly not there. Or, alternatively,
DNSEval::check_rbl() could verify whether an indirection exists.
The reason for this ticket is that if the server has a local copy of
dnswl.org's database for local lookups, it has no simple way to use it with
spamassassin.
In addition, a server can have already looked up the IP of the sending relay,
for example in order to whitelist SPF failures. A second lookup won't hurt
only when the server has a local caching DNS and no local copy of dnswl.
Recent betas of the Courier-MTA server can register the lookup in an
Authentication-Results: header field. That result could be retrieved using the
code attached to bug #6918 and no lookup at all.
