Thanks, that solved the problem.

I had that entry under /etc/MailScanner/spam.lists.conf

"ORDB-RBL                       relays.ordb.org."

Removing/commenting it out solved the problem.
Well, that introduces another problem. Really you need to remove ORDB-RBL from your "Spam List =" in MailScanner.conf.

the spam.lists.conf really only declares that ordb exists. The "Spam List" setting tells MailScanner to use it.

By removing the declaration, you've disabled it, but only because there's now a syntax error in your Spam List setting..


I hope MailScanners daily update will not revert this settings back.
I doubt any MailScanner update will do that. AFAIK ORDB hasn't been enabled in the MailScanner default configuration for well over a year now. (ORDB actually died in 2006) It's still in the current spam.lists.conf, but there's a note there that it's dead to warn people off adding it to the Spam List setting.

While we're at it.. What daily update? I've been a MailScanner user for years and have yet to see such a thing.

Also, when you do upgrade MailScanenr versions, it generally doesn't replace your MailScanner.conf. Instead there's that upgrade script you have to manually run to merge new settings in. That's probably why your still have ORDB in your config. MailScanner doesn't like over-riding settings, so you've probably been carrying that setting forward since you installed.
