sequence of rules

Post by wkuypers »

hello,

I have blacklisted for any domain ns104.mycyberhosting.com and
1webhighway.com, but in my log files I still find client validity check rules. The domain has no mx-records. Shouldn't blacklisting be done in the first place, so that all the rest is checked afterwards ? There is no need to do client validity checks on a blacklisted domain.

Thanks for the explanation.

The order is currently:

User tables
Client validity
SPF
DNSBL
Blacklist
Greylist
Address mapping
(whitelisting is done at each step to see if that rule should be skipped or not)

I don't remember why blacklisting was put there; I think it's just an oversight. We'll move the blacklist to the top of the stack.

The filtering rules order has been updated to check the blacklist first.
