Re: [cobalt-users] RAQ 550 dnsbl revisited



On Thursday, Jul 31, 2003, at 05:11 US/Eastern, Beheer quoted:
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

Anyway, for those who want to read the relevant information in some detail go
here: http://bluebird.sinauer.com/~morse/cobalt/dnsbl.html

In this case I think all the original poster needs to do is compare the original sendmail.cf with their new spamblock.cf (diff? I'm on a Mac and find "find differences" in BBEdit a very useful tool here...) This step is included in the instructions Beheer links to, which in turn are derived from instructions Charlie Summers posted here lo these many years ago. (Two.)

That should show fairly clearly both the new sections which cover the DNSBL, and the "old" section (missing from the new .cf file) which covers pop-before-smtp. A little "diff" wizardry should allow a splice, creating a file which contains both, and in the correct places!
