Hi, I am having trouble using the new URIDNSBL plugin. I have the following in my local.cf file:
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL
score URIBL_WS_SURBL 3.0
score URIBL_SBL 3.0
(these are previously defined in 25_uribl.cf)
but I seem to be getting no hits with them. Is this correct?
Cheers Scott

Hi Scott, Please use urirhsbl (note "rhs") rather than uridnsbl (note "dns").
urirhsbl is meant to be used with SURBLs since it does not do name resolution on domains it finds in messages but just checks them against the SURBL.
uridnsbl is intended to be used with conventional RBLs which typically list IP addresses. uridnsbl tries to resolve URIs it finds into IP addresses before comparing them to the RBL. It may resolve NS records also. These name resolutions have a time cost, particularly for uncached negative results which must time out.
Hope this helps,
Jeff C.
