spam protection stops qmail service

[camada]

Every time I turn on the check box Switch on spam protection based on DNS blackhole lists, the SMTP / Qmail service stops.

Id like to switch on the Spamhaus Policy Block List, but the server does not send any email with this option turned on, and, in the Service Management, the SMTP Server (Qmail) shows the red cross (Service not running). It only goes running again if I disable the Spam checkbox.

Hi,

this is not a Plesk related issue. I think you are using the List: spamhaus.org
With this List (and Plesk Version 8.4) I encountered the same problem.

The simple solution for me was to use another List (just delete spamhaus in the field and set another list there) and everything was fine again.

Unfortunatelly I dont get any answer from the Spamhaus Support right now so I cant say any details.

Best regards,

dkuwi

Thank you Dkuwi.
What list do you suggest ?

Hi,

no problem, hm it is hard to say which list you should use as there are several lists and all have there own positives and negatives. I tested some additional lists and think that the list of nixspam.org or spamcop is ok.
