Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some help. I’m running into issues with the DNSBL blocklists I’m using in Exim. I suspect the problem is related to the fact that I’m relying on public DNS resolvers. My /etc/resolv.conf currently looks like this: # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolve…

Try this once : [image] 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…

Spamhaus is the only provider that I know of who blocks open resolvers, and you should just go get a feed from them. Commercial grade data for email, DNS protection & insight IP and domain reputation data for commercial purposes, with real-time updates, for email filtering, network pro…

The fourth option worked. But since I’ll be using it for commercial purposes, I’ll have to pay, lol. Thank you very much. And sorry everyone, I hadn’t found this topic, lol

Ahh. In that case suggest using or setting up your own recursive DNS resolver over some other IP. Maybe on a VPS. Spamhaus is one brand I have started to hate soooo much since I started having issues. Took me so much time and stuff to sort it out.

I agree with you, I’ve been through so much hate these days lol. But thank you so much for helping me. For now, my decision is not to use them; I’m only using these at the moment: bl.spamcop.net b.barracudacentral.org
