What is VALIDITY error in MailScanner FE?

[Sergio]

Hi,
Sarah.

When checking an email that was blocked due to SPAM the following lines appears:

RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED_BLOCKED 0.00 ADMINISTRATOR NOTICE: The query to Validity was blocked. See https://knowledge.validity.com/hc/en-us ... 1730681243 for more information.
RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_RPBL_BLOCKED 0.00 ADMINISTRATOR NOTICE: The query to Validity was blocked. See https://knowledge.validity.com/hc/en-us ... 1730681243 for more information.
RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_SAFE_BLOCKED 0.00 ADMINISTRATOR NOTICE: The query to Validity was blocked. See https://knowledge.validity.com/hc/en-us ... 1730681243 for more information.

It started to appears on all my server since few days ago.

Do I have to create an account in Validity?

Best Regards,
Sergio Cabrera

I noticed this too Sergio, so I signed up for an account with Validity just to see how to get rid of the notices.

Once signed up, they tried to funnel me through a sales channel that felt counter productive to reducing spam. I have since deleted my account with them as the whole scheme felt nefarious, happy to be proven wrong though.

This is nothing to do with MailScanner Front-End. It is related to a SpamAssassin test. The link in the error gives further information. If you do not want to create an account with Validity you can disable the validity rules by following the steps in this article:

I have also signed out from validity and follow Sarah directions to take out validity.

Happy New Year 2025 to everyone in ConfigServer Forum, specially to Sarah and Jonathan.

Is there a way to make VALIDITY work? I created the account, but it didn't help
