you should see from that why it can't do a RBL lookup.
AFAIK it should run unless one of 3 things happens:
1) you don't have the perl module Net::DNS installed
2) it can't do a MX lookup for a major domain. Note you can over-ride this check by forcing dns_available in your conf.
3) the RBL server in question isn't answering.
Note that in the case of MAPS RBL, you may need to pay fee to query their servers. (ie: individuals/hobby sites are free, but companies and non-profits need to pay a usage fee).
If you've not paid the appropriate fees and appear to be commercial they might be blocking you from query (unlikely, but wouldn't be unreasonable of them to do).

Can some one please tell me why it is that only some times SA uses the RBL's to decide the fate of mail.
The following is my configuration in local.cf:
required_hits 5.0
defang_mime 0
report_header 0
use_terse_report 1
subject_tag {*****SPAM***** * _HITS_ *}
score RCVD_IN_RBL 2
score RCVD_IN_RSS 2
score RCVD_IN_DUL 2
score RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET 2
I am running SA 2.43 and when I look at the mail that is marked as spam most of the time I do not see it even trying the RBL's. Only once in a while do I see RBL in the SA results.
Is this a rule I could modify? I would love it if it would tally up the score and if the Spam score is still less then the required_hits it would use the RBL's.
Thanks,
Louis
