[Cialug] Ridiculous Spamassassin Behavior

[Kulish, Chris]

The RBL facilities within spamassassin activating for SMTP auth'd users.

I found this out when people started using their mobile phones to send/receive email.
It just so happens it was the wife.  Apparently, the IP address she is getting on the Verizon mobile network is listed in one of the RBLs.

I've had it with those things, so I am going to disable RBL completely.  And since I have a spam gateway already in place on my firewall, I disabled spamassassin completely until I get the configuration sorted.  I wouldn't even have it at all if it weren't for the 5% of spam getting by the gateway.  As it WAS configured, I was catching close to 100% of it.  We'll see if disabling RBL lookups impacts that.

Currently I am running postfix+amavis+clamav+dovecot on a centos host.  Spamassassin is called by amavis and NOT running as a daemon.
As near as I can tell, I just need to add "skip_rbl_checks 1" to my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file.  Can anyone confirm that this works with spamassassin 3.x?

Thanks for any insight.
