NAME

       URIDNSBL - look up URLs against DNS blocklists

SYNOPSIS

	 loadplugin    Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL
	 uridnsbl      URIBL_SBLXBL    sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org.   TXT

DESCRIPTION

       This works by analysing message text and HTML for URLs, extracting the domain names from those, querying their NS records in DNS, resolving
       the hostnames used therein, and querying various DNS blocklists for those IP addresses.	This is quite effective.

USER SETTINGS

       skip_uribl_checks ( 0 | 1 )   (default: 0)
	   Turning on the skip_uribl_checks setting will disable the URIDNSBL plugin.

	   By default, SpamAssassin will run URI DNSBL checks. Individual URI blocklists may be disabled selectively by setting a score of a
	   corresponding rule to 0 or through the uridnsbl_skip_domain parameter.

	   See also a related configuration parameter skip_rbl_checks, which controls the DNSEval plugin (documented in the Conf man page).

       uridnsbl_skip_domain domain1 domain2 ...
	   Specify a domain, or a number of domains, which should be skipped for the URIBL checks.  This is very useful to specify very common
	   domains which are not going to be listed in URIBLs.

RULE DEFINITIONS AND PRIVILEGED SETTINGS

       uridnsbl NAME_OF_RULE dnsbl_zone lookuptype
	   Specify a lookup.  "NAME_OF_RULE" is the name of the rule to be used, "dnsbl_zone" is the zone to look up IPs in, and "lookuptype" is
	   the type of lookup (TXT or A).   Note that you must also define a body-eval rule calling "check_uridnsbl()" to use this.

	   Example:

	    uridnsbl	    URIBL_SBLXBL    sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org.   TXT
	    body	    URIBL_SBLXBL    eval:check_uridnsbl('URIBL_SBLXBL')
	    describe	    URIBL_SBLXBL    Contains a URL listed in the SBL/XBL blocklist

       uridnssub NAME_OF_RULE dnsbl_zone lookuptype subtest
	   Specify a DNSBL-style domain lookup with a sub-test.  "NAME_OF_RULE" is the name of the rule to be used, "dnsbl_zone" is the zone to
	   look up IPs in, and "lookuptype" is the type of lookup (TXT or A).

	   "subtest" is a sub-test to run against the returned data.  The sub-test may be in one of the following forms: m, n1-n2, or n/m, where
	   n,n1,n2,m can be any of: decimal digits, 0x followed by up to 8 hexadecimal digits, or an IPv4 address in quad-dot form. The 'A'
	   records (IPv4 dotted address) as returned by DNSBLs lookups are converted into a numerical form (r) and checked against the specified
	   sub-test as follows: for a range n1-n2 the following must be true: (r >= n1 && r <= n2); for a n/m form the following must be true: (r
	   & m) == (n & m); for a single value in quad-dot form the following must be true: r == n; for a single decimal or hex form the following
	   must be true: (r & n) != 0.

	   Some typical examples of a sub-test are: 127.0.1.2, 127.0.1.20-127.0.1.39, 127.0.1.0/255.255.255.0, 0.0.0.16/0.0.0.16, 0x10/0x10, 16,
	   0x10 .

	   Note that, as with "uridnsbl", you must also define a body-eval rule calling "check_uridnsbl()" to use this.

	   Example:

	     uridnssub	 URIBL_DNSBL_4	  dnsbl.example.org.   A    127.0.0.4
	     uridnssub	 URIBL_DNSBL_8	  dnsbl.example.org.   A    8

       urirhsbl NAME_OF_RULE rhsbl_zone lookuptype
	   Specify a RHSBL-style domain lookup.  "NAME_OF_RULE" is the name of the rule to be used, "rhsbl_zone" is the zone to look up domain
	   names in, and "lookuptype" is the type of lookup (TXT or A).   Note that you must also define a body-eval rule calling
	   "check_uridnsbl()" to use this.

	   An RHSBL zone is one where the domain name is looked up, as a string; e.g. a URI using the domain "foo.com" will cause a lookup of
	   "foo.com.uriblzone.net".  Note that hostnames are stripped from the domain used in the URIBL lookup, so the domain "foo.bar.com" will
	   look up "bar.com.uriblzone.net", and "foo.bar.co.uk" will look up "bar.co.uk.uriblzone.net".

	   If an URI consists of an IP address instead of a hostname, the IP address is looked up (using the standard reversed quads method) in
	   each "rhsbl_zone".

	   Example:

	     urirhsbl	     URIBL_RHSBL    rhsbl.example.org.	 TXT

       urirhssub NAME_OF_RULE rhsbl_zone lookuptype subtest
	   Specify a RHSBL-style domain lookup with a sub-test.  "NAME_OF_RULE" is the name of the rule to be used, "rhsbl_zone" is the zone to
	   look up domain names in, and "lookuptype" is the type of lookup (TXT or A).

	   "subtest" is a sub-test to run against the returned data.  The sub-test may be in one of the following forms: m, n1-n2, or n/m, where
	   n,n1,n2,m can be any of: decimal digits, 0x followed by up to 8 hexadecimal digits, or an IPv4 address in quad-dot form. The 'A'
	   records (IPv4 dotted address) as returned by DNSBLs lookups are converted into a numerical form (r) and checked against the specified
	   sub-test as follows: for a range n1-n2 the following must be true: (r >= n1 && r <= n2); for a n/m form the following must be true: (r
	   & m) == (n & m); for a single value in quad-dot form the following must be true: r == n; for a single decimal or hex form the following
	   must be true: (r & n) != 0.

	   Some typical examples of a sub-test are: 127.0.1.2, 127.0.1.20-127.0.1.39, 127.2.3.0/255.255.255.0, 0.0.0.16/0.0.0.16, 0x10/0x10, 16,
	   0x10 .

	   Note that, as with "urirhsbl", you must also define a body-eval rule calling "check_uridnsbl()" to use this.

	   Example:

	     urirhssub	 URIBL_RHSBL_4	  rhsbl.example.org.   A    127.0.0.4
	     urirhssub	 URIBL_RHSBL_8	  rhsbl.example.org.   A    8

       urinsrhsbl NAME_OF_RULE rhsbl_zone lookuptype
	   Perform a RHSBL-style domain lookup against the contents of the NS records for each URI.  In other words, a URI using the domain
	   "foo.com" will cause an NS lookup to take place; assuming that domain has an NS of "ns0.bar.com", that will cause a lookup of
	   "bar.com.uriblzone.net".  Note that hostnames are stripped from both the domain used in the URI, and the domain in the lookup.

	   "NAME_OF_RULE" is the name of the rule to be used, "rhsbl_zone" is the zone to look up domain names in, and "lookuptype" is the type of
	   lookup (TXT or A).

	   Note that, as with "urirhsbl", you must also define a body-eval rule calling "check_uridnsbl()" to use this.

       urinsrhssub NAME_OF_RULE rhsbl_zone lookuptype subtest
	   Specify a RHSBL-style domain-NS lookup, as above, with a sub-test.  "NAME_OF_RULE" is the name of the rule to be used, "rhsbl_zone" is
	   the zone to look up domain names in, and "lookuptype" is the type of lookup (TXT or A).  "subtest" is the sub-test to run against the
	   returned data; see <urirhssub>.

	   Note that, as with "urirhsbl", you must also define a body-eval rule calling "check_uridnsbl()" to use this.

       urifullnsrhsbl NAME_OF_RULE rhsbl_zone lookuptype
	   Perform a RHSBL-style domain lookup against the contents of the NS records for each URI.  In other words, a URI using the domain
	   "foo.com" will cause an NS lookup to take place; assuming that domain has an NS of "ns0.bar.com", that will cause a lookup of
	   "ns0.bar.com.uriblzone.net".  Note that hostnames are stripped from the domain used in the URI.

	   "NAME_OF_RULE" is the name of the rule to be used, "rhsbl_zone" is the zone to look up domain names in, and "lookuptype" is the type of
	   lookup (TXT or A).

	   Note that, as with "urirhsbl", you must also define a body-eval rule calling "check_uridnsbl()" to use this.

       urifullnsrhssub NAME_OF_RULE rhsbl_zone lookuptype subtest
	   Specify a RHSBL-style domain-NS lookup, as above, with a sub-test.  "NAME_OF_RULE" is the name of the rule to be used, "rhsbl_zone" is
	   the zone to look up domain names in, and "lookuptype" is the type of lookup (TXT or A).  "subtest" is the sub-test to run against the
	   returned data; see <urirhssub>.

	   Note that, as with "urirhsbl", you must also define a body-eval rule calling "check_uridnsbl()" to use this.

       tflags NAME_OF_RULE ips_only
	   Only URIs containing IP addresses as the "host" component will be matched against the named "urirhsbl"/"urirhssub" rule.

       tflags NAME_OF_RULE domains_only
	   Only URIs containing a non-IP-address "host" component will be matched against the named "urirhsbl"/"urirhssub" rule.

ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS

       uridnsbl_max_domains N	     (default: 20)
	   The maximum number of domains to look up.

NOTES

       The "uridnsbl_timeout" option has been obsoleted by the "rbl_timeout" option.  See the "Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf" POD for details on
       "rbl_timeout".
