That's great that it works, George.
I ran into a situation w/ an x86_64 machine (client's, I don't have one)
where bash treated an unquoted environment variable as if it were quoted.
I'm not positive on this, but am guessing that in this case the separate
lines would prematurely end the exec command in
/var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run. No?

You need the -r which means to use as a rejection list -a is a white list
(don't run through an rbl). I don't have any problems using multiple lines
when entering then in the blacklists file... putting it directly into the
smtp/run file without a \ on the end of the line would be foolish though.
Use the qmail-inject line I sent last time to test your email...it'll show
you where it's failing.

Eric, can you explain what you are referring to in your Caution
statement above? Do you mean that all of the content should be listed
on one line? So using an example from George's blacklist below the
content should look like:
-r sbl.spamhaus.org -r bl.spamcop.net -r relays.ordb.org . . . etc.
Yes, that looks good.
If this is the way it needs to be input into the blacklists file should
there be commas, spaces or something else between each entry?
Just spaces between each entry. No commas, only space(s).
If not,
then I guess I am a little confused on what you are referring to.
Don't put them on separate lines.

You might also want to add some additional blacklists from orbs
(don't
do
the all-in-one). Some like the dynamic shouldn't be used, but the
exploited
server rbl is very handy. I added 5 or 6 to my servers and it's
helped
even more.
The content of my current blacklists control file (I does change):
-r sbl.spamhaus.org
-r bl.spamcop.net
-r relays.ordb.org
-r block.dnsbl.sorbs.net
-r http.dnsbl.sorbs.net
-r misc.dnsbl.sorbs.net
-r rhsbl.sorbs.net
-r smtp.dnsbl.sorbs.net
-r socks.dnsbl.sorbs.net
-r spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net
-r web.dnsbl.sorbs.net
-r zombie.dnsbl.sorbs.net
Just eliminate the biggest files in your setup - comment out
BLACKLIST
and BLACKLIST_URL from your config. Those two are huge and taking
them
out of my setup returned my system to normal behavior.
Thanks, I will look at adding to my blacklists control file. Can you
tell me what the "-r" command means?

I need help with a problem. Our users are seeing some multiple
duplicate emails coming from the same sender. This is not occurring
with every email so there does not seem to be any pattern to which
incoming emails will be duplicated and which ones won't. They are
also
reporting that duplicate emails are sent when they send to an outside
email. Has anyone experienced this problem before? What could be
causing this to occur and what can I do to stop this? I am running
qmailtoaster and spamassassin as an external email gateway. There has
been nothing changed with qmail but I did update some rules in SA
using rules_du_jour yesterday. Would these rules updates cause this
problem? If so, what would have changed?

If your system is low on resources (ie: RAM), then the spamd process

Might want to check and see how much RAM you're using.
I want to thank everyone who posted a reply on my inquiry. I believe
Jake Vickers was right about the problem. The RAM on the email server
was bogged down since yesterday when I updated the various .cf files
using rules_du_jour. I had included just a handful of rules from RDJ
but it appears that RDJ utilizes much too much of my server resources
to use it to update my spamassassin rules. It was slowing down the
server so much that simple functions were not responding. This
appears
to have affected the delivery of emails. In fact I noticed that my
original message to these mail lists took several hours to post and
were duplicated also. I resolved the problem by moving the various
rules .cf files out of the /etc/mail/spamassassin folder and
restarting spamassassin.
If anyone has a simple way of updating rules for spamassassin I would
welcome your input. I still need to update the rules as I have been
getting a great number of emails coming through to users.
Specifically, we are getting a lot of the pharmaceutical spam and the
stock spam.
Again, thanks to everyone for the posts.
