Newbie question here... (In fact, if someone will give me the right answers, I'll try to do the wiki on this subject.)
I setup SA in the last day or so. Initially, none of the spams were getting flagged by the RBL tests. I wanted to do some testing to make sure the RBL system was functioning right, but couldn't find any deterministic way to do so. I did run spamassassin -D (with debug info) and could see it was looking up the MX record, so I was pretty sure Net::DNS was installed and functioning correctly. Later in the day, the RBL test just "magically" started showing up on Spam I was receiving. Why? I have no idea, and I'm not going to waste any time trying to figure out why. The bigger question is: How can one test the RBL portions of SA *deterministically* (as opposed to waiting for a likely spam to happen along...) (I'm doing 3-4 site wide installs soon, and a "compile and hope" strategy for RBL doesn't tickle me fancy.) *** Summary: How would one notice or find errors from the RBL portion of the tests - it seems the debug portion of the code isn't very clear about this... (I assume this would also apply to DCC, Pyzor and Razor, though, I'm not using these systems, and they seem too complex and hairy to offer much additional benefit. I'm using SA, bayes, and RBL and am getting very good results.) Thanks for your time! Oh, I almost forgot! Thanks SA crew! This program rocks! (I used to use SA under v 2.31 but ran into some problems, and have just come back.) BTW, is there somewhere I can "donate" to the SA project? (Perhaps I missed it somewhere...)
