query command : ip in blacklist

[jlucho]

hi cPanel

Using the command line, what would be the command to query an IP, and find out if it is blocked by the exim blacklists?

I see that many servers are passing the antispam filters, when I make the query I see that those IPs are listed in spamhaus, but even so, they enter our mailserver

Hey there! I think the best option for this may be the following command:

exim -bh x.x.x.x

where "x.x.x.x" is the IP address you want to check. This runs a fake transaction as if it were coming from the IP address you provide in the command. More details on that can be found here:
