I've been reading more of the archives about this
rblsmtpd issue lately and I think what has happened
is that the relays.mail-abuse.org DNS no longer
has the TXT entries in it that rblsmtpd looks for.
Did this spam that got through your server come
from a host in the open-relays database or the
maps? Does anyone know if the other services,
not relays.mail-abuse.org, have made the same change
or are going to? If they did, it would prevent
rblsmtpd from working with them too correct? Do you
think DJB would make a new rblsmtpd release to make it
work with these new no-TXT maps DNS servers?
Thanks,
Dave

While checking out a spam I received this morning I noticed that
rblcheck finds it in the RSS. Hrmf. I run rblsmtpd so I'm not clear on
how it got through:
<snip> /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -b -t10\
-r rbl.maps.vix.com \
-r dul.maps.vix.com \
-r relays.mail-abuse.org <snip>
According to the RSS it was added yesterday at 1700 PDT. The address is
133.5.173.200 if you want to test for yourself.
I vaguely remember someone mentioning a patch for rblsmtpd, but not a
whole lot of discussion on why it's not working anymore. Anyone got the
low-down? Anyone tried the patch?
Thanks,
jon
