[Assp-user] ASSP DNSBL queries but ignores b.barracudacentral.org?

[Marcus B. <ber...@te...>]

Hi All,

I'm using ASSP version 2.1.1(12090) and have some trouble with the DNSBL b.barracudacentral.org. It looks like ASSP is ignoring answers for b.barracudacentral.org as it never appears in the log files. I have successfully registered to Barracudacentral and did register the ISP name servers IP addresses we are using. My ASSP configuration looks like that:

UseLocalDNS:=1

ValidateRBL:=1
RBLServiceProvider:=file:files/dnsbls.txt with content:
zen.spamhaus.org=>25
ix.dnsbl.manitu.net=>25
b.barracudacentral.org=>25
cbl.abuseat.org=>25
bl.spamcop.net=>25
psbl.surriel.com=>25
dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net=>25
RBLmaxreplies:=7
RBLmaxhits:=7  (just for testing, usually set to 2)
RBLmaxweight:=50
RBLmaxtime:=15
RBLsocktime:=1
RBLCacheExp:=24

Showmaxreplies:=1 (to see all replies in the log file and not until maxreplies)

DNS Flow is like that: ASSP queries -> local LAN name server which queries -> ISP name server which answers to -> local LAN name server which answer to -> ASSP
I can see in the local LAN name servers log file that this DNS flow is also true for b.barracudacentral.org and that we receive answers.

I count the DNSBL hits in the log files like that (no hits for b.baracudacentral.org):
grep DNSBL: *.txt | grep zen.spamhaus.org | wc
    589   14692  152965
grep DNSBL: *.txt | grep ix.dnsbl.manitu.net | wc
    518   13185  138115
grep DNSBL: *.txt | grep b.barracudacentral.org | wc
      0       0       0
grep DNSBL: *.txt | grep cbl.abuseat.org | wc
    358    9237   95493
grep DNSBL: *.txt | grep bl.spamcop.net | wc
     85    2159   23358
grep DNSBL: *.txt | grep psbl.surriel.com | wc
     57    1555   16449
grep DNSBL: *.txt | grep dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net | wc
    220    5566   60027

On the command line I did some DNS queries (127.0.0.2; 186.157.200.64 which is not listed; 41.96.7.178 which is listed):

host 2.0.0.127.b.barracudacentral.org
2.0.0.127.b.barracudacentral.org has address 127.0.0.2

host 64.200.157.186.b.barracudacentral.org
Host 64.200.157.186.b.barracudacentral.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

host 178.7.96.41.b.barracudacentral.org
178.7.96.41.b.barracudacentral.org has address 127.0.0.2

Anyone has an idea?

Thank you,
Marcus
