In Mail::SpamSssassin::Conf, there's the option called dns_available.  I
want to point this to my ISP's DNS server to speed up the RBL checks.
However, I'm unclear of the syntax of this option, shown as:

dns_available test: server1.ltd, etc.

Can someone clarify how to set this up?

You don't do it with SA.


if you want to use the above method, your easiest way would be to edit /etc/resolv.conf and add:

nameserver      ip-number1-of-isp
nameserver      ip-number2-of-isp

To the end of it (it should have no other nameservers,; there may be a maximum of 3.)

ip-number* should be the actual IP numbers that your ISP has given you, not names.

Far better would be to learn a DNS utility, such as BIND 9.2.2, and implement your own, caching, nameserver - but that costs much learning, spiritual grit and patience.

Best,
