And it appears Surriel should be psbl.surriel.com and not psbl.surriel.org.

Steve, thank you for reporting these corrections to the SORBS and PSBL RBLs.  I have corrected these in SM16 and the latest version of SmarterMail defaults.  The fixes to the defaults will be included in the next release of both versions.

Hi,

I've been looking at the defaults for URIBLs in 16 and 17 and they're both enabled for inbound SMTP blocking but it appears that they should actually be enabled for Spool Filtering instead. If the data is not received at the time the inbound SMTP checks are performed the URIs cannot be checked, they only exist at the spool check stage.

I've looked through the SMTP logs and the URI check is never listed in the 'Spam Blocking' mail rejection message.

Regards,

Steve

Steve, the SORBS and Surriel RBLs have been updated for new installs or when resetting the anti-spam settings. This is in last night's release.

Being I upgrade from 16 I want to check my settings to know if they are where they need to be. I don't want to build a server and do a clean install. Where can we find the current recommended Spam Checks, RBLs, and URIBLs as it seems since 17 has come out they have changed?

I know from what is listed above I have NONE of the above so I know there needs to be an answer for this.

IMHO there should be a continuously updated Knowledge Base Article listing each check and the settings.

But I've just upgraded to the latest build 6948 and reset the settings and not only have the changes above not taken but what's displayed on screen and what you see when you edit an item is often different.

@Robert-Emmett

Hi Robert, None of the settings have changed in 6948 and what's displayed on screen and what you see when you edit an item is often different.

I just went from 11 Spam Checks, 16 RBLs, and 2 URIBLs to 11 Spam Checks, 22 RBLs, and 2 URIBLs. Thanks for the info as one never knows if those 6 will help or not but not having them definitely wouldn't help.

I've looked again today and they are now correct and the mismatch between the screen and the settings in edit has cleared up.
