Correct settings for RBL Spamhaus ZEN?
Question asked by Shawn Hill - May 10, 2016 at 5:24 AM
Unanswered
Since ZEN can return multiple values what should I set the "Required Lookup Value(s)" to?
 
Currently I have it set the the following:
Required Lookup Value(s) = 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3, 127.0.0.4, 127.0.0.5, 127.0.0.6, 127.0.0.7, 127.0.0.10, 127.0.0.11
Enabled = Checked
 
Is this correct?
 
I read you can just blank it out and uncheck enabled, but that opens up the possibility for a blocked request or error to throw a false positive. Just want to check the correct settings with you guys.

There are a number of RBL setti gs which changed in April and May of this year. Beginning with SmarterMail 15.X, those settings can be exported and inported. This makes updating multiple servers very quick and simple. That's one of two reasons I've delayed the release of my next version of my antispam document. The other is to await the next minor release of SmarterMail 15.X, so I can adjust everything to function, as best as possible ubder the most secure and dependable version yet. The most recent version of the antispam settings will always be posted here: https://portal.chicagonettech.com/kb/a171/smartermail-antispam-settings-document.aspx I will also create a new post in the SmarterMail 15.X category whenever the antispam document has been updated, so that anyone who is interested is appropriately notified. - Bruce
