SpamAssassin RBL HowTO

How to use

Add the following to your SpamAssassin's local.cf configuration file, or user_prefs for user-specific configuration:
header  RCVD_IN_VIRUS_RBL_ZA   eval:check_rbl_txt('rbl.org.za', 'test.rbl.org.za.')
describe RCVD_IN_VIRUS_RBL_ZA Received via a relay in test.rbl.org.za
tflags RCVD_IN_VIRUS_RBL_ZA   net
score RCVD_IN_VIRUS_RBL_ZA 1.0
Then restart spamd.

The value of the 'score' setting relates to how many SpamAssassin points will be added to the final tally (other points come from other methods of determining whether or not the mail is spam). You can adjust this if you like (above configuration is for 1.0 points), of course the higher the score here the higher the chances are of a mail being deemed spam, even without points from other factors. By default a mail will be marked as spam if there is 5 more more SpamAssassin points.

Confirming things are working

If you see something like the the following in a mail that SpamAssassin has marked as spam it means things are working.
2.0 RCVD_IN_VIRUS_RBL_ZA     RBL: Received via a relay in test.rbl.org.za
[p7169-ipad52marunouchi.tokyo.ocn.ne.jp is listed]
[in test.rbl.org.za.]
