Bug Description

Binary package hint: spamassassin

The DSBL blacklist has gone and needs to be removed from SpamAssassin.
See http://www.dsbl.org
and http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/DnsBlocklists

Patch should be backported to 8.04 at least.

Diff is quite minimal with no significant regression potential (only deleting DSBL related rules entries).

TEST CASE:

Run spamassassin. See DSBL scores in the results. Update. Run it again. See no DSBL scores.

Since that's a bug fix, shouldn't it go though -updates for hardy, too? We can probably ignore gutsy (or do the backport), since it isn't a really viable server platform any more/not for long any more.

Unfortunately, I don't have a testing machine at the moment and manually fixed the issue in my SpamAssassin configuration in the meantime. I'll look into it when I get access to testing hardware.

Sorry for the bad news. :-( But thanks for your fix!

I can't really see any way to provoke the DSBL-test to give any hit (which can then be removed by upgrading) as "all the nameservers for list.dsbl.org are serving an empty zone" (from: http://www.dsbl.org/).

The only thing I can confirm is that the configuration for DSBL is gone. The test for intrepid is as follows.

Version 3.2.5-1ubuntu1:
~$ dpkg -L spamassassin | xargs grep DSBL

Is this sufficient confirmation? If it is, I'll test the versions for dapper/gutsy/hardy as well; if not please enlighten me of a better way to test it.

I guess you can test with spamassassin -D < mail.txt 2> log
Then you should see the queried DSBLs in the file "log"

I think the main thing we'd like here is confirmation that we haven't broken spamassassin with the update - that is, that it still works as before for other uses.

Subjectively it looks to work the same before and after.

Also inspecting the debug-output before and after shows that the only thing that has changed in the output is the part about DSBL. I would call the fix verified in intrepid.
