Exim4 rejects emails due to DNSBL check (Spamhaus & Spamcop) – false positives?

Hi @sHAsHiLx

This topic has been discussed a lot of times

Take a look to several options to fix the issue:

Exim rejecting emails

Because Spamhaus rejects requests for some public dns resolvers. You can: 1.- Disable the spamhaus dnsbl (not recommended) 2.- Change the dns resolver used by your server to one not blocked by Spamhaus like 76.76.2.0 and 76.76.10.0 (Control D Free DNS) 3.- Use your own DNS recursive resolver like bind9, PowerDNS, unbound, etc. 4.- Create a free Spamhaus data query account and you could use your current dns resolvers.
