Can't Get dnsbl To Work

[maxhugen]

I'm having a problem, in that my dnsbl entry does not seem to be working. I'm trying to use spamhaus, and using thei test email as recommended on their site - it's reporting that the SBL block is not working.

Can't figure out what I have done incorrectly:

1. Changed to config dir:
> cd /etc/mail

2. Edited sendmail.mc, added the line:
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`sbl-xbl.spamhuas.org')
(Note: also tried above without the quotes around dnsbl.)

3. Generated cf file:
> m4 sendmail.mc > ./sendmail.cf

4. Restarted sendmail:
> /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart

5. Sent test email to:
nelson-sbl-test@crynwr.com
(see

http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/howtouse.html,

"Testing your SBL Setup")

Reply: your SBL block is not working!


If anyone can see what's wrong, or offer a suggestion or URL where I can find more info, I'd be most grateful!

Found the problem at long last:

There was nothing wrong with my procedure, but I misspelt "spamhaus" (I had it as "spamhuas").

Guess I'd been staring at it too long to see the typo!
