[TriLUG] dnsrbl with sendmail (bl.spamcop.net)

[Errol Casey]

Anybody using dnsrbl m4 feature for spam rbls?

I've created a sendmail.cf with what I believe is
the correct settings for bl.spamcop.net; but it is
not working.

When I use sendmail -bt to test the sendmail.cf
file, and provide a client address of 127.0.0.2
it displays the expected "spam not accepted" message
when the basic checks are done; but the same setup
does not work when actual spam is received as incoming
mail from a host listed in bl.spamcop.net

I've tried ordb.org's rbl and spamhaus.{org,net?} rbl
also. I can get a manual test, but incoming mail
is not blocked as expected.

I will be glad to post sendmail.cf; don't have it handy.
But I thought I would inquire, in case someone had similar
issues in setting up their setup.

The systems I'm testing this on are using the latest
Sendmail 8.12.9.
