Description Anthony Messina 2006-08-26 21:22:09 UTC 
Thank you to felicity[at]apache[dot]org for explaining bug 5066.

Please see http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5066

Would it be possible to add the functionality to have an
"uridnsbl_ignore_domains" parameter to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf or users'
user_prefs files so that sites and/or individuals could decide whether certain
domains should be excluded from URIDNSBL lookups?

For example:
# /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
uridnsbl_ignore_domains = *.so, command.com, ...

Citing bug 5066, it IS correct for URIDNSBL to try to lookup libplain.so, for
example, but a site with many users subscribed to the info-cyrus mailing list,
for example, will have TONS of failed (and useless) DNS queries.

Perhaps the site admin or an individual user might want to evaluate whether or
not his URIDNSBL plugin should just skip those domains.

Such as 'uridnsbl_skip_domain' ?   ;)

uridnsbl_skip_domain allows specific domains to be skipped, but not
globs/wildcards/RE's since it's a hash lookup.
