Because Hotmail is NOTmail.

Hotmail (Microsofties), does not reply to abuse and postmaster mails. That's is 
against RFC, not nice, anti-social etc. etc.
Therefor hotmail, as the same with yahoo is SPAM by default. Some mail server 
admins even block mail coming from there by default.

Event though hotmail.com domain has a abuse address and a postmaster
address, why do mails from hotmail.com domain get
trigerred for these tests

0.4 DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE
1.4 DNS_FROM_RFC_POST

Because it's listed on both of those lists at rfc-ignorant.org:

http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/tools/lookup.php?full=1domain=hotmail%2Ecom

Basically, even though the addresses are active, they spam-filter them, 
making their use almost pointless.


Personally, I have those two rules zero-scored in my local.cf. Even though I 
like RFCI, and use their bogusmx and dsn lists at the MTA level, these two 
create too many false positives.

Did you updatedb before using locate?

Realistically, if you downloaded and installed the tarball, there should be a 
DNS.pm somewhere. If nothing else, there should at least be one in the 
tarball.


Perhaps try installing Net::DNS via cpan instead of using a tarball?

Problem with Net::DNS::Resolver

[padma]

I have spamassassin Version 3.0.4 running. The error I get in Debug mode 
is

(@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1

I have downloaded and installed the Net-DNS-0.55.tar.gz file., any idea of 
what could be wrong.


Thanks

Did you check (locate) where your DNS.pm *is*?



Hi!

I did a locate and there is no DNS.pm file. As this is my first experience
