Last week, I upgraded my server to FC1 (from RH 7.3). Sendmail, Ensim, and perl also got upgraded (to 8.12.x, 4.02, 5.8.1, respectively.

Before the upgrade, everything worked well with SA 3.0.0 and MaliScanner 4.34. Now, SURBL doesn't work unless I do some really strange things. I've reinstalled SA, MS, and ClamAV, but no joy. I've since upgraded to SA 3.0.1, MS 4.35.9 and Mail::ClamAV 0.13. I already had ClamAV 0.80 installed.

spamassassin -D --lint works fine, and when I test spamassassin with a SURBL URL, it gives the expected output. I don't get hits with MailScanner running unless I put the contents of 25_uribl.cf into my spam.assassin.prefs.conf (which has a link from local.cf).

And my mail logs look fine, i.e., no errors, no MS restarts, etc.

Did you remember to change your URIBL rules from header to body?

http://www.surbl.org/

Important Note Regarding SpamAssassin 3.0.1 and later: When adding URIDNSBL rules, including SURBL or SBL ones using urirhsbl, urirhssub or uridnsbl, be sure to set the rule type to body. For example:

urirhssub URIBL_JP_SURBL multi.surbl.org. A 64 body URIBL_JP_SURBL eval:check_uridnsbl('URIBL_JP_SURBL') describe URIBL_JP_SURBL Has URI in JP at http://www.surbl.org/lists.html tflags URIBL_JP_SURBL net

score URIBL_JP_SURBL 4.0

This is a change from SpamAssassin 3.0.0, where body above was previously header. Here is the changelog reference:

bug 3734: uridnsbl rules work on body data, not header data, so change the rule type from header to body
