HOWTO: Discard emails flagged by URIBL_BLACK

Hi,

I've done a search but not come up with any results.

Is it possible to discard emails that match the URIBL_BLACK rule so they don't get sent to my users?

MailScanner - v5.0.2
ConfigServer MailScanner Script - v3.13

Thanks,

Yes, you can create a RULE for this and apply a high score, so, the email will never be delivered.

If you post the header of an email that has the URIBE_BLACK, I can create that rule for you.

But you have to be careful when using this rule as false positives could be triggered.

Hi Sergio.

Thanks for your reply and sorry I didn't get back to you. Very rude of me. I must have missed the email alerting me of your reply.

I have moved on from here and now block RBL hits in Exim so they don't even get to MS.

The reason behind this is a lot of my customers have forwarders on their accounts and I was finding they were forwarding all of the spam they received and this was impacting on our deliverability. I had tried setting them up by forwarding all marked spam to a spam@ email address but for some reason they didn't like this and disabled it.

Can't please anyone these days.
