I subscribed to uribl's datafeed service and have read their usage documentation on http://uribl.com/usage.shtml

I think I understand how it works, but I am confused by how things work with the default 25_uribl.cf file if I want to change the rhsbl_zone to _CUSTID.df.uribl.com

We don't want the URIBL rules in 25_uribl and my custom rules to fire because that would cause 2x the lookup causing inefficient resource utilization.
If I use local.cf to set:
score URIBL_*            0.00
Will this stop the URIBL rules from firing?

No. There is no "wildcard" support for rule names. Never has been, never will be (unless SA is taken over by lunatics.) The way rules operate inside SA would make such a mechanism spectacularly unsafe.

OR, using BLACK as an example, if I put this in local.cf , will it over-ride 25_uribl.cf:
urirhssub       URIBL_BLACK     _CUSTID.df.uribl.com. A   2
body            URIBL_BLACK eval:check_uridnsbl('URIBL_BLACK')
describe        URIBL_BLACK     Contains an URL listed in the URIBL blacklist
tflags          URIBL_BLACK     net
score           URIBL_BLACK     6.00
reuse           URIBL_BLACK

OR: is there some better solution?

You don't need to override all aspects of a rule, just the ones you want to change. So if you just put an overriding urirhssub line in local.cf, you still get whatever is in the default 25_uribl.cf.


Thanks everyone - I am glad I asked, everyone's responses cleared up a couple mis-conceptions.
