Thanx to Rakesh and Kristopher for their replies which lead to the solution:
I did a spamassassin -D <test-mail.txt and got the following: ...snip debug: plugin: loading Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL from @INC debug: failed to load Net::DNS::Resolver: Can't locate Net/DNS.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/URIDNSBL.pm line 107. Net::DNS was in my /src directory but I must have forgot to install. Once it was installed I saw this instead: ..snip * 0.6 URIBL_SBL Contains an URL listed in the SBL blocklist * [URIs: onlinegenericrx.com] * 0.5 URIBL_WS_SURBL Contains an URL listed in the WS SURBL blocklist * [URIs: onlinegenericrx.com] * 2.0 URIBL_OB_SURBL Contains an URL listed in the OB SURBL blocklist * [URIs: onlinegenericrx.com] I think this confirms that it is working now. Thanx again. Dp.
