add rbl to spamassassin

[mmaciel]

hello everyone

like the title says, i'm looking enable rbl on my server, but from what i've understand, if i simply enable it via Exim Configuration Editor >> RBLs, it would prevent it from being scored and even reaching my server? if so, i wanted to enable rbl but keep it attached to spamassassin so it can score and redirect the email to my spam mailbox

i've found this article that explains how to do it, but i'm a little confused

do i simply create the file with the following structure?

header CUSTOM_LOOKUP eval:check_rbl_txt('rblichose','rblichose.org.')
describe CUSTOM_LOOKUP Entries listed in rblichose RBL
score CUSTOM_LOOKUP 2.0

and that's it? do i need to modify anything else?

sorry, i know it's a pretty stupid question, but i got confused by the text (as you can see, i suck at english) talking about arguments and the dnsrbl','dnsrbl.org. thing

hopefully someone will understand what i mean

appreciate any help, thanks

Hey there! That really is it - just create the file with the parameters you mention and it *should* just work.

Hey Rex, sorry to dig this up, but i'm back with another silly question

for this to work, do i also need to enable the "manage custom rbls" option under Exim Configuration Manager?

I don't *think* that is required, but not 100% certain. The easiest thing to do would be to test that out and see and I can always make a case on our end if things aren't working as expected.
