Hi, What is the use of the file /var/qmail/control/rblhosts By making the entry in the file spamhause.org e.t.c will it allow the mail to inbox even though the server is blocked in spam assassin or spam database? I am new if it is wrong please help.

Greetings: /var/qmail/control/rblhosts is a plain text file that contains zero to many RBL (real time black hole list) host names. Typically, qmail will bounce back any email found on the RBL's used with an error message. Thank you.

RBL = real time black hole list. Hphere has the RBL's under E-Manager, Mail servers, Configure. You can also see them at /var/qmail/control/rblhosts.

Greetings: You need to follow the directions of the RBL provider; you cannot just add a domain name here or there as you will end up stopping mail flow period. For Spamhaus.org, see http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers....=DNSBL%20Usage Thank you.
