I am configuring a mail server to make use of the DNS-based black lists supplied by spamhaus.org, and have run into a bit of a snag. I'm running sendmail 8.12.11, and have successfully configured the 'dnsbl' feature to reject mail from hosts in the black lists, but spamhaus.org has requested that MTA error messages contain the descriptive text corresponding to the blacklisted host (e.g. "http://www.spamhaus.org/SBL/sbl.lasso?query=SBL14030"). I've checked sendmail docs for information on how to do this, and come up with nothing. I've also looked for the information on the spamhaus site itself, but to no avail. Likewise for Google searches. The black lists themselves are quite helpful, and so I would like to be in compliance with spamhaus' request. Any clues would be much appreciated. BTW, I hope it's not inappropriate to have posted this to both -isp and -questions. Please let me know if I should not have done so. Thank you much, -John -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | John Fox <jjf @ mind.net> | System Administrator | InfoStructure | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | I used to trust the media to tell me the truth, tell us the truth | | But now I've seen the payoffs everywhere I look | | Who can you trust when everyone's a crook? | | -- Queensryche, "Revolution Calling" | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
