I've been reluctant to use an RBL because of issues like this. I think I've saved a message that'll help you though. let me look . . . yes the information follows. Am I being silly not to do this registry hack and start adding in some rbl's? What's the best one to start with - something with open relays or foreign lists or what? ******************************************************** I believe there's a registry entry you can fix that will let you reduce the default time to a reasonable level if the query takes too long when consulting the blocklist. Using regedt32 ... \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SMTPRS\Parameters Click Edit/Add Value with the Value Name of: AsyncDnsTimeout1 Set the type to REG_DWORD Change to Decimal value and put in 20 (for 20 seconds) or whatever timeout value you feel comfortable with.

It was nice to see a fresh list of blacklists. I was only using osirusoft and ordb. We'll see how these new ones work out.

This is the reason why: ---------------- Santa Ana winds in California took out connectivity for osirusoft's rbl servers, and they're still unreachable today. Remove them, or everything will either "time out" and be very slow or it will reject all mail temporarily until the rbl works again. I ended up disconnecting from osirusoft's rbl service that blocks spams, and mapped to different ones which work, and the speed is now back o normal. I currently use (orisusoft currently disabled): sbl.spamhaus.org Spammers and spam support relays.ordb.org open relays proxies.monkeys.com open proxies formmail.monkeys.com formmail.pl blacklist proxy.relays.osirusoft.com open proxies (down) dynablock.wirehub.net dynamic addresses (dialup, etc) opm.blitzed.org open proxies dialups.visi.com dialup addresses relays.visi.com open relays ----------------- Sounds like Osirusoft's DNSBL may be having problems with connectivity so if you are using it (or SPEWS), you might want to be carefull with that. -- Yves Lacombe SPAM Fighting Team T4C/BMC Server Support (514) 845-1666 ext. 300 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GIT d+ s+:++ a C++++ UL+++ P++ L+++ E+ W+++ N+++ o-- K w++ O- M-- V PS++ PE- Y PGP+ t+++ 5+++ X-- R+ tv- b+++ DI-- D+ G e++ h r++ y++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ ** To leave this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put the word "LEAVE" in the BODY of the email. ** To leave this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put the word "LEAVE" in the BODY of the email. ** To leave this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put the word "LEAVE" in the BODY of the email.
