[Pkg-exim4-users] dns black list variable CHECK_RCPT_IP_DNSBLS

[Brian E. Lavender]

How do I set the value of the CHECK_RCPT_IP_DNSBLS?

I would like to set it to the following:
sbl.spamhaus.org:bl.spamcop.net:cbl.abuseat.org

brian

/etc/exim4/conf.d/acl
30_exim4-config_check_rcpt

# Check against classic DNS "black" lists (DNSBLs) which list
# sender IP addresses
.ifdef CHECK_RCPT_IP_DNSBLS
warn
dnslists = CHECK_RCPT_IP_DNSBLS
add_header = X-Warning: $sender_host_address is listed at $dnslist_domain ($dnslist_value: $dnslist_text)
log_message = $sender_host_address is listed at $dnslist_domain ($dnslist_value: $dnslist_text)
.endif

I created a file and put the following in it. I think there might be a better place to put this,
but it works for now.

/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/00_exim4-config_local_options

CHECK_RCPT_IP_DNSBL = sbl.spamhaus.org:bl.spamcop.net:cbl.abuseat.org
