    Hello,
    I would like to use SURBL (multi.surbl.org) in my email server. How can I get this?
    • Debian GNU/Linux 8
    • ISPConfig 3.1.6
    Thanks,
    Manuel

    You can add RBL's under System > server config > mail in ISPConfig.

    Yes, just add the URI of the RBL that you want to use.

    After adding multi.surbl.org all inbound email is rejected with this log:
    554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [1.2.3.4] blocked using multi.surbl.org
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Manuel

    This means that the IP address that the server receives these emails from are on multi.surbl.org blacklist. Is your server connected directly to the internet? or does it receive emails from a smart host or similar?

    My environment:
    • Dedicated Server (Debian 8 and Proxmox 4.4). IP not blacklisted.
    • Virtual Machine (LXC with Debian 8 and ISPConfig 3.1.6). IP not blacklisted.
    • No intermediate mailserver.
    When I add multi.surbl.org, all external inbound emails are rejected. The senders IP are not blacklisted.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Manuel

    And the server is directly connected to the internet, so the incoming emails do not come from any kind of smarthost? Please post a few lines from your log that show the rejects.

    Yes (this is a normal installation following your tutorial).

    Notes:
    1. 209.85.128.180 is not blacklisted according to http://www.surbl.org/surbl-analysis
    2. I see 2 logs duplicated: is this normal?
    Thanks,
    Manuel

    May it be that your server uses a local dns relay that is misconfigured?
    Have you try doing a check from command line manually, e.g.
    Code:
    dig 180.128.85.209.multi.surbl.org

    Ok, so it seems to be a dnsconfig problem. Check the /etc/resolv.conf file and ensure that you have dns servers in there that allow external resolving. e.g. the free google namervers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

    I added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 nameservers to resolv.conf, but nothing has changed:
    # touch /etc/.pve-ignore.resolv.conf
    # vi /etc/resolv.conf
    Code:
    # --- BEGIN PVE ---
    search ip-1-2-3.eu
    nameserver 127.0.0.1
    nameserver 213.186.33.99
    nameserver 8.8.8.8
    nameserver 8.8.4.4
    # --- END PVE ---
    Notes:
    • search ip-1-2-3.eu = OVH domain of the dedicated server.
    • nameserver 213.186.33.99 = OVH cache DNS infrastructure.
    # reboot
    # dig 180.128.85.209.multi.surbl.org
    Code:
    ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-9+deb8u15-Debian <<>> 180.128.85.209.multi.surbl.org

    And the same multi.surbl.org false positives and logs.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!

    Remove localhost from resolv.conf.

    Removed (commented out) localhost and rebooted virtual machine and dedicated server.
    Now, dig has an answer:
    Code:
    # dig 180.128.85.209.multi.surbl.org
    
    ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-9+deb8u15-Debian <<>> 180.128.85.209.multi.surbl.org

    But I still have the same problem: when I add multi.surbl.org, all incoming mail is blocked.
    :-(
    Any idea? (sorry)
    Thanks,
    Manuel

    Finally, I have started using dnsbl.spfbl.net (this list is working perfectly, without errors).
    Thank you very much for your help!
