Q: This documentation doesn't seem to cover how to configure dns-blocklists. It says "Support for these is built-in" but I can't believe that all free BL's is called each time a mail is beeing checked. There must be a way to configure which to use.

Wiki Markup
A: [SpamAssassin] ships with support for a number of the best DNSBLs.  See the \[http://spamassassin.apache.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf\] documentation page, and the rules file \[http://old.spamassassin.org/full/2.6x/dist/rules/20_dnsbl_tests.cf 20_dnsbl_tests.cf\], for details and examples of how to add
a new
 additional DNSBL lookup
rule.Q: My version of SpamAssassin (v2.44) does not include a 20_dnsbl_tests.cf file. Where are the DNSBLs used by SpamAssassin listed for an installation of v2.44?
 rules.  Note that you want to be using [SpamAssassin] version 2.63 or 3.0.0-pre2, for the same reason that you wouldn't use an out-of-date virus scanner.

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