[gentoo-server] Spamassassin + RBL

[Jason Qualkenbush]

I'm having some trouble getting spamassassin to use RBL's.  I went to 
the Wiki site, and here is my question:

Q: The dns-blocklists just don't appear to be used. What is going wrong?

A: First, make sure Net::DNS for perl is installed. Without this the 
blocklists will not be used.

- No problem.  This happens to be in portage so it's a simple emerge.

A: Second, do some tests with Net::DNS to make sure it is resolving 
names (see the Net::DNS site for examples). A common mistake for client 
machines (such as Mandrake 9.2) is to have 127.0.0.1 in the 
</etc/resolv.conf> file -- Net::DNS does not check multiple nameservers 
it appears, so you need to comment this line out for Net::DNS to work. 
(Anybody with a better solution, other than running a local nameserver?)

- I looked at the site and it says there are tests in the tarball.  Are 
there any that came in the Gentoo package?  Where do I find them?  Is 
the setup for this mentioned in a Gentoo guide at all?

All the documentation on it seems pretty general.  "Just enable it in 
local.cf", but I'm not getting the checks.  I -had- this working on 
Postfix before (which did a great job) but I don't want to outright 
reject spam, just tag it.

Anyway, I keep watching my log files and I never see anything with 
RCVD_IN_ANYTHING.
