policyd-weight configuration problems can't recieve incomming emails
Hello again I've finished my 1.07 server migration and everything is working like a champ but i have a real problem with policyd-weight.

I installed spamassasain and im wondering if i should just turn off policyd-weight because all it does is bounce legit emails and force me to whitelist a veritable ton of domains.

is there a way for me to configure the reject number higher?

Here's what i have in /etc/policyd-weight.conf (i changed REJECTLEVEL to 5 from 1) but it seems that i get a ton of bounces from people with mail hosted from mxlogic or sending from a different domain that doesn't match their send domain. Its almost like policyd daemon isn't looking at this config file and is just using the defaults only, can anyone help?

Code:
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
#  policyd-weight configuration (defaults) Version 0.1.15 devel-1
# ----------------------------------------------------------------


   $DEBUG        = 0;               # 1 or 0 - don't comment

RE: policyd-weight configuration problems can't recieve incomming emails
this is my etc/policyd-weight.conf:

Code:
$REJECTLEVEL = 8;
$CACHEREJECTMSG  = '450 temporarily blocked because of previous errors';

## DNSBL settings
   @dnsbl_score = (
#    HOST,                    HIT SCORE,  MISS SCORE,  LOG NAME
    'pbl.spamhaus.org',       3.25,          0,        'DYN_PBL_SPAMHAUS',
    'sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org',   4.35,       -1.5,        'SBL_XBL_SPAMHAUS',
    'bl.spamcop.net',         3.75,       -1.5,        'SPAMCOP',
    'dnsbl.njabl.org',        4.25,       -1.5,        'BL_NJABL',
    'ix.dnsbl.manitu.net',    4.35,          0,        'IX_MANITU',
#    'rbl.ipv6-world.net',     4.25,          0,        'IPv6_RBL'
);

I figured out a behaviour:
if there are points from at least one of the dnsbl - then further checks are done with the name etc - which fails for many forwarded mails...
Most time it's the ipv6 dnsbl thing - that's why I commented out.

I made this my new conf file but no luck and of course restarted postfix and policyd too. I ended up having to add them into the policyd_whitelist_recipient file and postmap it. I would love to not have to do that any other suggestions?

RE: policyd-weight configuration problems can't recieve incomming emails
You have to analyze the logs/mail headers and then decide which settings should be changed...
