I have SA 3.01 running under mimedefang 2.43 with sendmail 8.13.1.
At some point, SA seems to stop doing lookups on the DNSBLs; spam
gets through that is listed in multiple BLs; if I check manually with
spamassassin -t, it detects the BL entry, even if I run it moments
after the spam was received.
I don't see anything obvious in the logs. What can I do to
troubleshoot this?
Make sure MIMEDefang hasn't created a new /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf
on an upgrade.
That happened to my server a while back -- We were just using
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf, and upgraded MD, and MD saw there was
no sa-mimedefang.cf, so it created it with the defaults -- and the
defaults disable DNSBLs.
Nope, that's not it. I've been throwing debug code in bit by bit.
(More accurately, I've been re-copying the dbg statements as "warns",
because while there's plenty of useful output, there are just too many
un-categorized dbg statements to leave debug enabled... sigh.) Looks
like every once in a while, the lookup_ns sanity-checks that SA does on
well-known domains are returning with zero NS records. Still not sure
why that happens yet, or exactly what is going on, but that does
understandably lead SA to disable DNSBL processing for a while.
