Hello all.
SURBL/URIBL checks aren't working properly in Merak Mail server. We have been working with the vendor, providing examples of failures, as they try to make repairs.
We run Merak Mail server. Is there another product that can be added separately to implement SURBL checks correctly? If not, will you kindly provide the name of a mail server that has proven to work very well with SURBL/URIBL?
I view your work as such an effective tool against spam, that I'm willing to switch servers if IceWarp is ultimately unable to implement the functionality for this.
Thank you,
Tom

Hi Tom, I believe Merak Mail Server uses SpamAssassin under Windows. As such, you may want to check that basic DNS resolution works. For example, on that server can you:
ping 2.0.0.127.multi.surbl.org
It doesn't matter whether the ping itself works, but does it resolve to 127.0.0.2?
That may or may not have to do with the issue, but it's useful to check in case a proxy server is interfering with DNS, for example.
Does anyone else here use Merak? If not you may need to continue to work with the vendor.

Thanks for the reply, Jeff.
Uh oh, ping did not resolve to 127.0.0.2.
See below. Now what?

Actually that's the correct result for multi (the individual lists give 127.0.0.2; multi gives 127.0.126 for the test points now), so your DNS is working. That's a good sign, even if it may or may not be relevant for Merak.
Certainly there are lots of people using Merak, so you may want to see if the vendor can help you get it working.
