Re: testing postfix' maps_rbl config?





Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Mark


maps_rbl_domains = sbl.spamhaus.org,


Quote from spamhaus.org (from their faq):
Once you have set up your mail server to use sbl.spamhaus.org, you can test
to see if the SBL blocking is working by sending an email (any email) to:
nelson-sbl-test@crynwr.com (you must send the email from the mail server
which you wish to test). The Crynwr system robot will answer you to tell you
if your server is correctly blocking SBL-listed IPs or not.
