SA Bugzilla – Bug 4887
descriptions erroneously mention relays
Last modified: 2019-06-18 15:44:44 UTC
Many of the description in 20_dnsbl_test.cf say that the mail was received via a problematic relay. But many of the lists in question actually don't say anything about relaying -- they just say the mail server in question sends spam, and it might send it directly as well as by relaying. I don't know all the lists, but I looked at Spamcop in particular, and the description "Received via a relay in bl.spamcop.net" would accurately be, "Received from a mail server in bl.spamcop.net".
I'd say semantics. Relay == mail server. Closing.
