RBL's not working

[Kris-DigitX]

HI,

I added RBL's in /etc/exim.conf

rbl_domains = sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org/reject : \
relays.ordb.org/reject : \
list.dsbl.org/reject : \
dnsbl.sorbs.net/reject : \
ipwhois.rfc-ignorant.org/reject

But when ever I restart I get this error.

Starting exim: 2004-09-15 12:59:30 Exim configuration error in line 186 of /etc/exim.conf:
main option "rbl_domains" unknown
[FAILED]
Starting exim-smtps: 2004-09-15 12:59:30 Exim configuration error in line 186 of /etc/exim.conf:
main option "rbl_domains" unknown
[FAILED]

regards,
Krishna

try

deny message = Access denied - $sender_host_address is listed \
at $dnslist_domain
dnslists = sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org : \
relays.ordb.org : \
list.dsbl.org : \
dnsbl.sorbs.net : \
ipwhois.rfc-ignorant.org

I put this just below the
check_recipient:
accept hosts = :

section...

I see the original poster's issue as I had it as well. Within these forums, both methods are listed as being correct.

I *think* it depends on the version of exim?

BTW...place it under the ACL List section like this:

#!!# ACL that is used after the RCPT command
check_recipient:
# Exim 3 had no checking on -bs messages, so for compatibility
# we accept if the source is local SMTP (i.e. not over TCP/IP).
# We do this by testing for an empty sending host field.
accept hosts = :

<--------------Add here ------------->

#**#
#**# RBL List Begin
#**#
accept domains = +local_domains
local_parts = postmaster:abuse
#
# Check sending hosts against DNS black lists.
# Accept all locally generated messages
# Reject message if address listed in blacklist.
deny message = Message rejected because $sender_fullhost \
is blacklisted at $dnslist_domain see $dnslist_text
!hosts = +relay_hosts
!authenticated = *
dnslists = dnsbl.njabl.org : \
bl.spamcop.net : \
sbl.spamhaus.org : \
list.dsbl.org : \
cbl.abuseat.org : \
relays.ordb.org

I *think* it does as well but none of the posts I've seen here or elsewhere list which go with which. Then you get the ones that 127 IPs in there as well...

It works with 4.x series with no problem. That what mine is for.
