RBLs: spamhaus-ZEN spamcop.net - MailScanner

[hilario]

Hello,

When I set "Spam List = spamhaus-ZEN spamcop.net" in Mailscanner any email sent from my domain to any address in our domain gets blocked.

I checked both spamhaus and spamcop, and our IP is not in any of those lists.

What should I do to use the lists and still be possible to send emails from/to our own domain? It probably is a simple configuration option in Mailscanner.

Thanks,

Hilário
P.S.
I am using MSFE. I tried to place this thread in the forums at configserver, but it refuses to accept my posts. So I took my chances here.

Would suggest using the method described in the ConfigServer FAQ which we have been using without issues since cPanel 11 was released.

Take note of the mention of potential blocking related to ISPs.

Thanks for the hint.

In fact I had already implemented that. But as Mailscanner does not collect data in that case, I'm not able to tell how much email was in fact blocked. I also have no idea if this solution generates false positives.

What I am trying to do is temporarily move to the Mailscanner Spamlist and disable the Exim blocking at SMTP time. That way I will collect the data and make sure I am absolutely not getting any false positives.

As the result of enabling it in MailScanner is that we are blocking our own emails sent to other employes in our own company, I just can't make the switch till I learn what is causing this problem.

I will apreciate if someone can spread some light over this problem

Tks in advance

Hilário

Hi,

Don't use ZEN. It blocks too many legitimate mail and when we do a lookup on ZEN, the ip address it not there.

Use SBL and XBL instead.
