# RBL module
The RBL module provides support for checking the IPv4/IPv6 source address of a message's sender against a set of RBLs as well as various less conventional methods of using RBLs: against addresses in Received headers; against the reverse DNS name of the sender and against the parameter used for HELO/EHLO at SMTP time.
Configuration is structured as follows:
~~~nginx
rbl {
# default settings
an_rbl {
# rbl-specific subsection
}
# ...
}
~~~
The default settings define the ways in which the RBLs are used unless overridden in an RBL-specific subsection.
Defaults may be set for the following parameters (default values used if these are not set are shown in brackets):
- default_ipv4 (true)
Use this RBL to test IPv4 addresses.
- default_ipv6 (false)
Use this RBL to test IPv6 addresses.
- default_received (false)
Use this RBL to test IPv4/IPv6 addresses found in Received headers. The RBL should also be configured to check one/both of IPv4/IPv6 addresses.
- default_from (true)
Use this RBL to test IPv4/IPv6 addresses of message senders. The RBL should also be configured to check one/both of IPv4/IPv6 addresses.
- default_rdns (false)
Use this RBL to test reverse DNS names of message senders (hostnames passed to rspamd should have been validated with a forward lookup, particularly if this is to be used to provide whitelisting).
- default_helo (false)
Use this RBL to test parameters sent for HELO/EHLO at SMTP time.
- default_unknown (false)
If set to false, do not yield a result unless the response received from the RBL is defined in its related returncodes {} subsection, else return the default symbol for the RBL.
RBL-specific subsection is structured as follows:
~~~nginx
# Descriptive name of RBL or symbol if symbol is not defined.
an_rbl {
# Explicitly defined symbol
symbol = "SOME_SYMBOL";
# RBL-specific defaults (where different from global defaults)
#The global defaults may be overridden using 'helo' to override 'default_helo' and so on.
ipv6 = true;
ipv4 = false;
# Address used for RBL-testing
rbl = "v6bl.example.net";
# Possible responses from RBL and symbols to yield
returncodes {
# Name_of_symbol = "address";
EXAMPLE_ONE = "127.0.0.1";
EXAMPLE_TWO = "127.0.0.2";
}
}
