e it would actually come out and *tell* the sysadmin which host there is
no route to, but I expect that's an entirely different bit of code or even
another program entirely that's coming up with that error.

It might be a good idea to change DnsResolver.pm to mak
d all is well again. Your post was most
enlightening. :)
It might be a good idea to change DnsResolver.pm to make this error message
clearer. I've googled this error message and other people are similarly
confused. "DNS lookup failed" would be a good one.

We just put our mailserver (with SpamAssassin of course) behind a firewall,
and now we get many many interesting error messages from spamd telling me
that there's no route to some host or other. I tweaked the DnsResolver.pm
module to show what host it was trying to route to, a
an failing silently due to the fact
that no IP address exists, thus the DNSBL.

, and they resolve to nothing at all, which is why there is no route
to host. But why is spamd suddenly spewing these errors now? It didn't do
this before the firewall was in place.
