I'm setting up SpamAssassin 3.1.8 to run with the Courier MTA (0.55.1) on a server running Gentoo Linux. Courier provides a facility to reject email in the SMTP dialog using queries to RBL lists based on the connecting IP address, which prevents the MTA from ever having to deal with such spams, or issue DSNs to forged addresses, etc.
Many of the same RBL services are configured into 20_dnsbl_tests.cf in /usr/share/spamassassin. There's no need for me to query these RBLs twice and I'd like to selectively disable some of these tests in /etc/spamassassin/local.cf, while leaving others enabled. I can set skip_rbl_checks to 1 to disable _all_ these tests, but I only want to disable some of them, not all of them. I can comment out the tests in /usr/share/spamassassin/20_dnsbl_tests.cf, however this file gets re-written when SpamAssassin gets upgraded, so I need to do this in one of the files in /etc/spamassassin. The Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf is silent on this issue. Is there a way to do this? -- Lindsay Haisley | "In an open world, | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | who needs Windows | available at 512-259-1190 | or Gates" | http://pubkeys.fmp.com http://www.fmp.com | |
