    Just curious does this mean we should be turning spamassassin off for now?

    No, I believe it means stop using all Osirusoft blocklists in your SpamAssassin and Exim configs.

    I just now realise that RBL checking is turned ON by default in SpamAssassib. With Osirusoft currently blacklisting the whole world, you will an increade of about 3.5 to the SPAM count of all you messages :eek:

    To disable Spamassassin's RBL checking server wide, edit /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and add the line
    skip_rbl_checks 1

    The idea of using Osirusoft has been bothering me because there site has been down for some time. We cannot use a RBL if it is not maintained.

    restart anything?

    Stefaans,

    Thanks for posting this. I've been seeing this problem. I've applied your change, but I have a newbie question: do I need to restart anything for this change to local.cf to apply or does spamassassin read this config each time it runs?

    Thanks,

    Danimal :cool:

    What do you mean you can access the file? Anyway, login via ssh and type pico /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
    Mine already had that line, it just said 0 instead of 1. I changed the 0 to a 1 and then hit ctrl and x to exit and save.

    Re: restart anything?

    My changes went into effect immediately without restarting anything...
