A further question to this: if I want to disable one of those rules in
20_dnsbl_tests.cf, do I only need to give a score of 0 (in local.cf) to the
rule with the check_rbl part, or do I need to give a score of 0 to each of
the 'sub' rules?
For example, there are three sections to the Spamhaus lookups, as follows:
header __RCVD_IN_SBL_XBL eval:check_rbl('sblxbl', 'sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org.')
describe __RCVD_IN_SBL_XBL Received via a relay in Spamhaus SBL+XBL
tflags __RCVD_IN_SBL_XBL net
header RCVD_IN_SBL eval:check_rbl_sub('sblxbl', '127.0.0.2')
describe RCVD_IN_SBL Received via a relay in Spamhaus SBL
tflags RCVD_IN_SBL net
header RCVD_IN_XBL eval:check_rbl('sblxbl-lastexternal',
'sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org.', '127.0.0.[456]')
describe RCVD_IN_XBL Received via a relay in Spamhaus XBL
tflags RCVD_IN_XBL net
So if I were wanting to disable them all, should I only need to give a 0
score to __RCVD_IN_SBL_XBL (ie. the first one), or do I need to give a 0
score to both RCVD_IN_SBL and RCVD_IN_XBL?
I guess what I'm really wanting to know is, is it possible to give a 0 score
to any rule starting with a double-underscore (__SOMETHING) in order to
disable it? As I know that double-underscore rules are kinda special and
don't normally count for any score in the first place.
Thanks!
