Hi Mark, I'm no expert, but I have my own bind DNSBL's running with SA.
Checks that may help you:
1. In local.cf, confirm skip_rbl_checks is set to 0
2. Add a rule for your custom dnsbl (either in local.cf or your own
custom rules.cf file);
header CUSTOM_BLOCKLIST eval:check_rbl('rbl.dmz',
'spammers.rbl.dmz.')
describe CUSTOM_BLOCKLIST Relay in Local DNS Blocklist
tflags CUSTOM_BLOCKLIST net
score CUSTOM_BLOCKLIST 2.5
3. Test the rule: spamassassin --debug --lint
(grep or look for DNS tests) and if clear reload/restart SA
4. Check your system is set to use your DNS server (or that the DNS
server it used by default resolve queries for spammers.rbl.dmz.)
Depending on how you have system logging set up, I would tail the syslog
or dns log whilst sending test messages in, or feed SA with a test
message to check: spamassassin -D
< /usr/share/spamassassin/doc/spamassassin-3.0.3/sample-spam.txt
I hope this is of some use to you, but I'm sure one of the resident
experts will spot your issue in moments and post. I apologise if my
answer is of little use.
