Since I am not the most knowledgeable linux guru, I have a question about setting up RBL lists with our qmail server. We get enough spam as it is, and with the most recent lawsuit noted in news.com about some lady suing her employer after receiving porn spam, I have taken it upon myself to attempt to block as much spam at the server level as I can.
When I run the command $ rblcheck -l
I get
rbl.maps.vix.com
relays.orbs.org
One is not longer functional, the other is asking for money. There are free lists out there, but how do I add them?
After about 6 hours seaching on google for how to add a new service, all I can find is this single command: $ rblcheck -s <service>
But, there is nothing to really state what to enter at this command line, only documentation on how to test (ie. rblcheck -s servicename 127.0.0.1). But nothing on how to add.
Where does the two above lists come from? Is there a file with those lists as text that I can edit? Are they started with some command line syntax in a startup file?
Much of the qmail documentation mentions a /var/qmail/supervisor directory. Nothing like that exists in my qmail installation. Someone set this up two years ago and didnt follow directions? I cant reinstall qmail. We have 60+ domains that we host, each having numorous users in each domain, so taking this down and rebuilding is not an option.
Much of the internet documentation lists using the TCPSERVER command to start this. Then, you've also got the qmail-smtpd executable, the rblcheck executable, the rblsmptd executable, and many others that can be used to start the RBL lists. Which do I use?
As a novice linux user, all of the different answers on the internet only just confuse me further. Anyone want to help me on this?
