I've now installed Net:DNS, and put 'dns_available test' in my user_prefs. I've not seen any sign of it working in my maillog yet (I've got the -D option for spamd), how can I tell if it's working, please?
The fastest way is to fire up the plain command-line version and look at the debug output there. You can tell almost immediately if DNS is being used this way. (note: sample-spam.txt comes in the SA tarball, but you can use any file containing a RFC 822 type email)
spamassassin -tD <sample-spam.txt
And look for debug output similar to this at the top:
debug: is Net::DNS::Resolver unavailable? 0
debug: trying (3) kernel.org...
debug: looking up MX for 'kernel.org'
debug: MX for 'kernel.org' exists? 1
debug: MX lookup of kernel.org succeeded => Dns available (set dns_available to hard code)
debug: is DNS available? 1
Note that what MX it tries may vary, but the first line and the last line in the list are very important.
