DNSBL and Whilelist

[Superkikim]

Hi,

As long as I know, the DNSBL configuration is taking action upfront qmail to reject messages based on the block list.

What I don't know, is if I put *@somedomain.com in the server wide whitelist, all messages from anyone@somedomain.com will be bypassing the DNSBL check...

Can anyone answer this ?

Cheers

No, unfortunately the blacklist filter is before whitelisting; its like the outer ring. Once it passes or blocks emails, then the other spam filters (like spamassassin) get their chance.
The idea behind DNSBL is not wasting resources on known spam sites.

Hello,

For the moment behaviour will be the following:

If the mail address is blocked by DNS Blackhole List then it will be blocked in any case even if the mail address is in the white list.
