To disable queries to multi.uribl.com, put this in your local.cf or equivalent in /etc/mail/spamassassin:

score URIBL_BLACK 0

Based on my mail flow and other RBLs, I didn't miss this RBL when I disabled it years ago.  It may be valuable to some but Spamhaus and IVM do most of the heavy lifting on my mail filters

terrible bad idea and not a solution at all when likely his server is not using 127.0.0.1 as the only DNS and so other RBL's also won#t work as expected - when you see URIBL_BLACK you have a problem which needs to be solved and not burried


His server's /etc/resolv.conf could be pointed to 127.0.0.1 and still have too high of volume to hit URLBL_BLOCKED like mine was years ago.

But yes, make sure you have unbound setup and working properly and /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to 127.0.0.1. Then do a manual query to 127.0.0.1 to confirm it's working:

# dig @127.0.0.1 test.dbl.spamhaus.org

;; ANSWER SECTION:
test.dbl.spamhaus.org.  60      IN      A       127.0.1.2

be sure i scored it not to 6.5 just for fun based on a 8.0 milter-reject score

BLOCKED: 1512
URIBL_BLACK: 512

[root@mail-gw:~]$ sa-score.sh URIBL_BLACK
/usr/share/spamassassin
score URIBL_BLACK 0 1.7 0 1.7 # n=0 n=2

/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004001/updates_spamassassin_org
score URIBL_BLACK 0 1.7 0 1.7 # n=0 n=2

/etc/mail/spamassassin/local-*.cf
score URIBL_BLACK 6.5

Like I said, disabling URIBL didn't impact my mail filtering because of other RBLs and my specific mail flow. Different mail flow from different locations around the world/Internet will cause SA to be a little different for everyone. There's no one-size-fits-all with mail filtering and SA but we have common issues like URIBL_BLOCKED that are generally solved the same way. If your volume is low enough, you can keep it and setup your local DNS server to do full recursive lookups. If you volume is too high for their free usage limit, then disable it an use other RBLs that could be better for your locale.
