Spam blocklist SORBS has been shut down, update Anti-Spam settings

The spam blocklist SORBS has been shut down. By default Zimbra uses SORBS via SpamAssasin, but also many Zimbra Administrators have set-up SORBS as part of Postfix MTA restrictions. Monitor the Zimbra MTA logging in /var/log/zimbra.log and make changes to your configuration to make sure email continues to be delivered properly.

Postfix reject_rbl_client

Check Zimbra’s MTA blocklist configuration by running the following command as the OS user zimbra:

Code:

zmprov gcf zimbraMtaRestriction
In the output of the command see if a line is present that contains sorbs such as dnsbl.sorbs.net and if so remove it by running for example:

Code:

zmprov mcf -zimbraMtaRestriction “reject_rbl_client dnsbl.sorbs.net”zmmtactl restart
SpamAssassin

A future update of SpamAssassin in Zimbra will remove SORBS meanwhile since SORBS is on many places in SpamAssassin, one way to disable it is by adding the following configuration to your /opt/zimbra/data/spamassassin/localrules/local.cf file.

Code:

dns_query_restriction deny sorbs.net

Then as the OS user zimbra run the commands:

Code:

zmmtactl restart && zmamavisdctl restart

Please note that the SpamAssassin steps have not been validated by our QA team yet, so keep an eye out for updates on this blog post at blog.zimbra.com.
