hmmm ....
it looks like pretty much messedup. I have the following lines for
"Spam List" which is probably related to present issue:
---------------------------
Spam List Definitions = %etc-dir%/spam.lists.conf
Spam List = ORDB-RBL SBL+XBL # You can un-comment this to enable them
---------------------------
i think i should change the second line with:
Spam List = SBL+XBL
That would be correct. Unless you wish to make other changes to the list
of RBLs MailScanner will check and trust absolutely as a spam criteria
(without any regard for what SpamAssassin has to say about the message).
and my current "%etc-dir%/spam.lists.conf" has following entries:
<snip, long list of the standard file from MailScanner>
Looks normal, and appears to be the standard file other than ORDB is
commented out.
------------------------------------------------------
I am still not confident in what this change will give me?
It will give you a disabled list. One that is disabled the proper way...
(and less likely to show config errors in MailScanner's lint mode)
the spam.lists.conf file is intended to define a list of valid options
that can be declared in the "Spam List" setting, nothing more. Having
something present in the file doesn't enable it.
By removing ORDB from spam.lists.conf, you're essentially causing
MailScanner to ignore the request to use ORDB, but only because it no
longer knows what ORDB is. It's better to not ask MailScanner to use it
at all.
