Guys, I'm stumped. SpamAssassin is failing RBL lookups on our new mailserver (Debian testing, Postfix, ClamAV, Amavis-new, SpamAssassin), and without it, we're getting hammered. I found 1 guy with the same problem on spamassassin.apache.org but no resolution. The facts: I can resolve dnsbl.sorbs.net as user root or amavis using dig. I can resolve it using Perl and Net::DNS. SpamAssassin apparently can't. I also tried installing 3.03 via cpan and it failed the dnsbl tests. Below are a few lines from the debug output. Any suggestions?
