I recently installed Postfix 2 RBL checks. I have been watching my mail log looking for a reject. I know the tests are working since spamcop was down for a while and I got a warning message in my log.
I think I understand what is happening, but would appreciate a confirmation. Postfix checks the connection ip whereas SA checks the originating ip (or does SA check all Received ips)? Hence, a forwarded spam will mask itself from the Postfix RBL check if the connection ip is not listed? A message arrives and is processed by Postfix. The message was sent via a redhat mailing list: Jul 17 11:29:06 www postfix/smtpd[25334]: connect from hormel.redhat.com[66.187.233.30] Jul 17 11:29:06 www postfix/smtpd[25334]: 97159E033D: client=hormel.redhat.com[66.187.233.30] Jul 17 11:29:07 www postfix/cleanup[25336]: 97159E033D: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jul 17 11:29:07 www postfix/nqmgr[2286]: 97159E033D: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=3863, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 17 11:29:07 www postfix/smtpd[25334]: disconnect from hormel.redhat.com[66.187.233.30] Jul 17 11:29:09 www postfix/local[25338]: 97159E033D: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, orig_to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=3, status=sent ("|IFS=' '&&exec /usr/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 ") Postfix checks the connection ip for RBL and finds it is OK and sends it on its way. SA starts up and checks the entire message and finds an RBL error in the origination ip: Jul 17 11:29:07 www spamd[25348]: processing message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for REMOVED:505.
