Apparently you can't query the list until you've registered the IP
address of your DNS resolvers with them. This means, it can't be
included as standard in SpamAssassin.
However, I can't figure out how to do that... On
http://www.emailreg.org/index.cgi?p=policy it says:
"The Registered Email Sender List is available to everyone that would
like to utilize it. In order to obtain access you need to register a
domain. Once you have registered a domain you will be able to specify
the IP addresses that you would like to have query the RESL."
So you have to register a domain before you can register your IPs...
It then goes on to say:
"Note that there is no charge for USE of the RESL data via this DNS
query system. If you would like to use the RESL without registering a
domain you may do so by registering HERE."
So you don't have to register a domain before you can register your IPs...
Which is it? Do I have to register a domain, or don't I? So I signed up
for an account and all I see is an option to register my domains with
them, and that costs money... I see no option for registering the IPs of
my resolvers.
Good point. spamassassin masschecks can happen on arbitrary hosts on
the Internet. If they require registration for DNS lookups, then
emailreg.org cannot be tested by weekly masscheck. I personally am
against adding anything to spamassassin that cannot be tested.
