Re: rblsmtpd and relays.mail-abuse.org
I'm using it too -- but everything seemed fine with the patch so ... - Original Message - From: "Jon Rust" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Odd that this issue has been so quiet. Are there really so few people using rblsmtpd?

Actually, no. The output from one is automatically sent to the input of the next as they execute each other. The "\"'s are to allow the commands to be on multiple lines. - Original Message - * Robert Sander ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [11 Aug 2000 04:07]: It seems to me that rblsmtpd can only take one "-r" at a time, as I have version 0.70 that may be a bit old.

Do you think DJB would make a new rblsmtpd release to make it work with these new no-TXT maps DNS servers? Thanks, Dave Correct. I did some research too (should have before posting :-/). rblsmtpd works by rejecting connections from servers with TXT records at the various "RBLs." On Aug 8th, RSS stopped using TXT records entirely. All along there has also been an A record for each listed address, so you can still use that, and in fact, rblcheck uses the A records for its check. I applied the patch at http://www.cqc.com/~pacman/projects/rblsmtpd-rss/ posted by pacman Aug 9th I believe. This patch allows you to tell rblsmtpd to use A records for certain RBLs. It seems to be working just fine. Odd that this issue has been so quiet. Are there really so few people using rblsmtpd? jon

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
