these rules are not part of SA's ruleset.

if you don't want these queries why have such custom rules, in the first place?

If you see the same effect happening with SA's default ruleset, pls submit a bug /evidence and explain how to reproduce with SA data, not private BLs/rules

I don't want queries URI-A and URI-NS to happen. URI-DNSBL is fine but
why others?

What happens if you score those rules to zero?

THey are relevant to URIBL checks because they check for A or NS recs for a
URI in a msg's body.
this is also documented in URIBL.pm

What's their relevance in a URIBL check?

HI Axb,

But, we don't require A and NS lookups for a domain to query for it's
existence in URIBL, right? I don't see the point of doing the NS
lookups in URIBL module.




these lookups check a URI domain's NS and A record. If not there, where
would you expect it to happen (for a URL in msg's body) ?

Hi all,

Short Version: See subject.
Long Version: Read below.

So far, I've got a nice feedback from the community, thanks for that.
I want to know why are DNS queries like URI-A and URI-NS done? For a
specific case that I'm trying to use, I want spamassassin to use just
DNSBL and nothing else.

I don't see URI-A and URI-NS defined in either default rules
(/use/share/spamassassin/) or in sa-update related rules.
(/var/lib/spamassassin).

Setting score for URI-A and URI-NS also doesn't do anything. I could
only see it in action in URIDNSBL.pm under sub-routine
completed_lookup_callback. Is there a reason why URI-A and URI-NS are
done unconditionally and don't have a option to disable them?

Is there a way I can disable them?




disable URIBL lookups by disabling plugin in .pre file (as I suggested
before that you revise the .pre files)
