How to use RBL lists to exclude checking of emails sent from own server

Post by nermin_dadan »

Hello,

I have MailScanner FE and all other software from ConfigServer installed on my server, and it it awesome.
I would like to use RBL scanning in MailScanner itself, rather than in Exim because it will allow me to release an email from quarantine if one of my customers complains about not receiving important email. I have set it up working and Immediately I saw a problem which was not appearing while Exim was RBL scanning.

The IP that MailScanner checks against RBL is the one from network of the sender, for example a IP at his house or an IP at an office.
How can I exclude domains that are on my server from RBL scanning?
I think that Exim was using localhost or IP 127.0.0.1 to somehow exclude it.
If an email is sent from my server to my server it will show some IP dynamic IP address rather than 127.0.0.1 or my server IP. That random dynamic IP is going to be on RBL lists and it will be blocked, even though it is legit email.

Here is MailScanner log:

Have you tried to add the domain or IP to EXIM Only-verify-recipient under EXIM Configuration Manager / Access List?
