  I ran sa-update. As you pointed out, there are a number of RBLs in the
 standard configuration that for some reason aren't checked, thus I thought
 I
 could easily fix that by adding them to local.cf and when that didn't
 work I
 tried in init.pre. I do see other RBL generated scores in the message
 headers, so it appears that some RBL checks are indeed performed.


 try to debug it as below with

 spamassassing 21 -D -t msg | less

 what are being tested at what fails ?


Hi,

I'm still having the RBL lookup problem. It seems that no RBLs are checked
now. I just looked up an unidentified spam message received that's listed in
zen.spamhaus.org but no mention of any RBLs in the spamassassin headers. I
reran the above command and found the following error:

Oct 10 21:49:58.510 [16255] dbg: dns: Net::DNS version: 0.63
Oct 10 21:49:58.510 [16255] warn: archive-iterator: no access to msg: No
such file or directory at
/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/ArchiveIterator.pm line 771.
Oct 10 21:49:58.510 [16255] warn: archive-iterator: unable to open msg: No
such file or directory

I'm running spamassassin 3.3.1-1 from the Debian package. Line 771 says:

  if (!defined $AICache) {
my @s = stat($mail);
@s  or warn archive-iterator: no access to $mail: $!;
return unless $self-_message_is_useful_by_file_modtime($s[9]);
  }

Any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks,
  Chris

 Can you try again using a message, such as the sample-spam.txt that comes
 with the SA tarball.

 spamassassin  sample-spam.txt 21 -D

 In particular, we want to look at the dbg: dns: is DNS available? line
 and other DNS related ones nearby.



Hi Matt,

Spamassassin not checking user provided RBLs

[Chris Datfung]

I'm running spamassassin version 3.3.1-1 from the Debian  package. I added
several RBLs to /etc/mail/spamassassin/init.pre but spamassassin only
queries its built in RBLs and not the ones I added. An example RBL entry to
init.pre is shown below:

header IN_NJABL_ORGrbleval:check_rbl('njabl','dnsbl.njabl.org.')
describe IN_NJABL_ORG  Received via a relay in dnsbl.njabl.org
tflags IN_NJABL_ORGnet
score IN_NJABL_ORG  5

I also find messages that aren't tagged as being in an RBL that are listed
in cbl.abuseat.org and zen.spamhaus.org which should be automatically
checked by spamassassin using the default configuration. As mentioned before
other (built-in) RBL checks work. Any hints as to why my custom RBL checks
added to init.pre (and also tried local.cf) aren't queried after restarting
spamassassin?

Thanks,
 Chris
