Sounds like an surbl problem if spamsite.com isn't listed.
That's just an example I made up... :)
The leading subdomains are supposed to be trimmed off, since they are usually identifying strings for a given spam target rather than an actual part of the target name.
OK, so that's supposed to happen. Is there any way to have the entire host checked? I've seen a good volume of junk where the domain is clean, but if I do a manual lookup on the entire hostname in the spam it is indeed listed.
Thanks, Charles
There are a few cases where things go to three levels rather than just two, but they are exceptions.Loren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Sprickman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 7:28 PM Subject: URIDNSBL and subdomainsHello, I've been watching some of the misses that have passed through spamassassin (3.0.4) lately and they are pretty clean; no DNS BL hits, etc. One thing I did notice is that many of them have a fairly contorted URL for the spamvertized products, ie: kjekliennxi&ffiennnkenc.spamsite.com This doesn't trigger any URIDNSBL hits, but if I punch the entire URI into the surbl.org checker it does hit. It seems as if the SA check is looking only at the domain part and not the subdomain. Is this expected? Is there a switch to flip to get the whole hostname checked?
