Q: RBLs and Scalix inbound MTA

[Stws]

Hi

Anyway to configure the inbound MTA to check RBLs?

TIA

[ScalixSupport]

At present, it's not possible to configure the SMTP Relay to access RBLs. If you're looking for that feature you need to configure sendmail to do it and have it as the primary SMTP listener.

Cheers

How would I define the local mailers to send msgs into scalix messagestore. Isn't there a sendmail.cf like file somewhere for the scalix mta?

[florian]

sendmail already submits messages destined for scalix users to the scalix system; it is setup that way during install.

Your best bet is the SMTPFILTER option. Please search for this string in the forum, as there will be numerous articles referring to it.

Cheers,
Florian.

hi i just put in some RBLs in my sendmail.mc. is it possible that this is causing the error connection timed out in my maillogs?

im running scalix 10.0 under RHEL 4. i get this error:

These are indications that the remote mail server is not listening to you. Happens quite a lot if you send out email directly, instead of through a relay at your ISP. You can test this by doing a host -t mx apgloan.com and telnetting to the IP on port 25. If you can't connect, it's the remote server. If you can, run sendmail -q -v and see if that clears your queue.

Remember that if you change the sendmail.mc you have to rebuild the sendmail.cf

cp sendmail.cf sendmail.cf.back
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf

And then you need to run

omsendin
