RBL's - Can I use them to give a score rather than block?

[DigitalEssence]

Hi,

I'm getting a lot of spam coming in for my customers and would like to use an RBL to reduce this.

The trouble is that when I do use an RBL eg Spamcop, barracuda or Spamhaus, my customers own IP addresses are sometimes listed and get blocked from sending mail which isn't great.

Is there any way that I can re-enable the RBL's but instead of them blocking senders outright, they give a spam score instead?

And also, my queries to URIBL are blocked. I know the reason why but I've read that it's not really worth the time and effort in fixing this.

What are other people's thoughts on this?

If you want to give spamassassin scores to different RBLs, you would need to do this within SpamAssassin, not the MailScanner Front-End. I believe the RBL tests are defined in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004006/updates_spamassassin_org/20_dnsbl_tests.cf, and you can modify the scores of those tests by adding scores to your own .cf file in /etc/mail/spamassassin as outlined in this article:
