Hello,

I'm trying to turn of rbl_reverse_dns functionality. So I changed it in toaster-watcher.conf

rbl_enable                      = 0    # master RBL switch. Disables all RBLs
rbl_enable_fail_closed          = 1    # default is on
rbl_enable_soft_failure         = 1    # default is on (off means bounce immediately (553)
rbl_timeout                     = 60   # default is 60 seconds
rbl_reverse_dns                 = 0    # block based on presence of reverse DNS
rbl_reverse_dns_failure         = soft

But I'm unable to deliver email to the server from domain which is not in DNS. I know it's sometimes good to have it working but I, for the beginning, would like to be this switched off.

I tried to disable qmail-scanner
#smtpd_qmail_queue               = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl
smtpd_qmail_queue               = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

but still without any effect.

Can you help me please? I'm in stuck. I tried to configure /var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run by hand but it seems to me it's OK:

/var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run:
exec softlimit -m 35840000 tcpserver -S -H -R -c10 -x /usr/local/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 89 -g 89 0 smtp qmail-smtpd /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/bin/true 2>&1

Thank you for any advice.

Turn qmail-scanner back on, thats not doing it. Its youre supervise/run file that needs to change.

Check your crontab to see if /usr/local/sbin/toaster-watcher.pl is running. This is the script that reads your conf and autogenerates your run file.

At a glance your run file looks ok, im running with this on my production server:

#!/bin/sh PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/vpopmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin export PATH QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" export QMAILQUEUE LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me` if [ -z "$LOCAL" ]; then        echo LOCAL is unset in /var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run        exit 1 fi if [ ! -f /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts ]; then        echo "No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!"        echo "Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open relay"        exit 1 fi exec softlimit -m 31744000 tcpserver -S -R -c16 -t25 -x /usr/local/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 89 -g 89 65.113.136.48 smtp rblsmtpd -b -r relays.ordb.org -r relays.visi.com -r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org -r list.dsbl.org qmail-smtpd /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/bin/true 2>&1

That has a couple of big RBLs, but no rDNS/PTR checks.

Also, your ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp file can do rDNS checks. your last line should be ":allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl"" if you want to recieve all mail and send it to qmail-scanner.
