Re: [spamdyke-users] let qmail decide if it accepts a recipient before doing RHSBL?

I like having specific RBLs logged. I just installed spamdyke on a few qmail-toasters yesterday (replacing rblsmtpd), and was going to as about this. Michael beat me to it! ;) If simultaneous queries are being done, can all RBLs that match be logged? Perhaps a comma separated list within parenthes

The aggressive DNS queries will definitely increase the momentary load on the DNS servers, because they will get a burst of simultaneous queries each time a remote server connects. However, the overall load won't go up because the long-term rate of DNS queries is determined by the rate of SMTP

Great! Of course, this "feature" could also be used to determine if a specific RBL is causing to many false-positives too... Running all the checks simultaneously certainly will negate the need to order them in any specific order and should make the overall process that much faster, especially if

Yes, this is certainly possible. Right now spamdyke identifies the RBL in its message to the remote server but not in the logs. Good idea! What would be a good way to log this information (preferably without breaking existing scripts)? I'm thinking as I type here, but spamdyke already follow

Hello, I really think mail servers shoud reject connections from IP without rdns, I was tryng to impose it to my customers but I think I must desist for too much good mail being rejected. I't could be useful to have a per domain reject-empty-rdns, to gradually implement this feature. Just
