[tip] Changes to the MailPolice RHS blacklist

mxORB 2.0 and 2.1 are configured by default to use the bulk and porn RHS blacklists from MailPolice. MailPolice have now introduced a single consolidated blacklist that includes information from both of these lists, along with a new fraud blacklist.

Configuring mxORB to use this new blacklist will reduce the number of DNS queries required, improving performance and reducing network usage.

Note: mxORB 2.2 users who have not upgraded from a previous version of mxORB do not need to make any changes to their settings.

To use the new MailPolice RHS blacklist, follow the steps below:

1. Open the Configuration tool and double click on the Internet Blacklists icon
2. On the RHS Blacklists tab click Add
3. On the Blacklist tab enter MailPolice as the Name,block.rhs.mailpolice.com as Domain and ensure the Enabled checkbox is checked
4. On the Return Addresses tab, select Match specified return addresses and click Add
5. Enter 127.0.0.2 as the IP address, Verified spam source as the Description and ensure the Enabled checkbox is checked
6. Click OK to add the return address, then click OK to add the RHS blacklist
7. If you have the MailPolice Bulk Sender or MailPolice Pornographic RHS blacklists configured you should either disable them (this allows you to keep the statistics for these blacklists) or remove them:
   
   
   • To disable the blacklist, ensure it is selected, click Edit, uncheck the Enabled checkbox and click OK to save the changes
   • To remove the blacklist, ensure it is selected, click Remove and then click Yes to confirm the removal
   
   
8. Click OK to save the changes to the Internet blacklists
