[cobalt-users] RAQ 550 dnsbl revisited

["H.P. Noordam" <bno@xxxxxxxxx>]

For the archives;

the last week  posted solution to add dnsbl to a raq 550 has a catch; it
kills pop before smtp.

- edit cobalt.mc to add dnsbl, and install
result: dnsbl works, pop b4 smtp does not

- edit cobalt.mc AGAIN to remove dnsbl and install
result: dnsbl removed (of course), pop b4 smtp stays dead

- reinstall the original sendmail.cf and restart
result: pop b4 smtp works as it used to

conslusion ?? : the delivered cobalt.mc on the 550 systems seems not to be
the same as the one used for the sendmail.cf on the systems, since it does
not provide popb4smtp.

(tiggling around with the gui doesnt differ, checked it on a "real" 550, and
an upgraded raq3)



original procedure

cd /usr/lib/sendmail-cf
vi cf/cobalt.mc
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`bl.spamcop.net',`Rejected - see http://spamcop.net/')dnl

m4 cf/cobalt.mc >/etc/mail/spamblock.cf

Then go to the /etc/mail directory and backup and copy over the
sendmail.cf file:

cd /etc/mail
mv sendmail.cf sendmail.cf.orig
cp spamblock.cf sendmail.cf
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart
