Ah, I guess you are right. I notice some URIBL_DBL_SPAM for example in other 
messages that do get scored properly. Hmm, so I guess I’ll have to train the 
bayes filter more to get rid of those messages then right?

On a side note, I have set up bind9 as a local, non-forwarding resolver, and 
it’s configured as the only nameserver. This test works:

# host -tA 2.0.0.127.multi.uribl.com
2.0.0.127.multi.uribl.com has address 127.0.0.14

but spamassassin still generates URIBL_BLOCKED. Any suggestions on this?


Thanks,


Tino
