The sendmail "FEATURE(`dnsbl'...)" runs first. That gives you a couple of advantages. - It doesn't touch any perl, so it's faster. - If the sending MTA is in the dnsbl the mail is DSN rejected, which means... - The mail is never queued. - No more processing is needed. Disadvantages? You don't get very much granularity. It's either pass or fail. IOW, I know a lot of people who run mail servers on a "dynamic IP" (or a range of addresses considered as dynamic; DSL, cable, etc...) but I still want to take advantage of blocking the spammers doing the same. Letting MD run the SA dnsbl check means that I can assign a small score increase instead of just rejecting it at the cost of greater CPU usage. For me, in general, dnsbls that I think are sane and fair go in the sendmail.mc. The nutty fanatics find themselves in MD/SA. You may want to consider the spamhaus xbl list also; I've had quite good luck with it. Yet, some things will just get through, even with much training. I've been fighting some Cyrillic spams that come from another mailing list. The Content-type header lies about the charset and most sail through with a SA score of <2. Most annoying...

Re: [Mimedefang] Spamhaus on SA
First, skip_rbl_checks 0 is already unset in my SA. I just incorporated spamhaus into my sendmail.mc as you suggested and it works. So, what runs first with this configuration? Spamhaus or MD? === Al --- Jason Gurtz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I use spamhaus in sendmail > > FEATURE(`dnsbl', `sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org', `"Listed on > http://spamhaus.org/sbl or http://spamhaus.org/xbl";') > > but maybe also check that you have > > skip_rbl_checks 0 > > in your sa-mimedefang.cf.

I use spamhaus in sendmail FEATURE(`dnsbl', `sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org', `"Listed on http://spamhaus.org/sbl or http://spamhaus.org/xbl";') but maybe also check that you have skip_rbl_checks 0 in your sa-mimedefang.cf.

Re: [Mimedefang] Spamhaus on SA
The FAQ you're referring to says that:
$SALocalTestsOnly = 0;
for DCC to work. I already have that set (I guess I have it UNSET actually),
and I already have DCC working.
I can't get Spamhaus to work, though. So to start, has anyone out there
gotten Spamhaus to work within SA using MD? I'd at least like to know
if it's possible.
