Re: What is that rbl Eric?

[Erich Schroeder <erich@museum.state.il.us>]

I'm using sendmail, and have the following lines in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`list.dsbl.org')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`bl.spamcop.net')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`sbl.spamhaus.org')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`relays.ordb.org')dnl

This makes lines in the maillog that have a line that includes " refused 
by blackhole site bl.spamcop.net" for example.

for my "local rules" I just have lines that look like

somejerkspam.com             DENY

in /etc/mail/access

and the statistics are gathered by a perl script that Steve put together, 
and I slightly modified to make it work with my setup.
