How to configure SpamRATS RBLs on Zimbra MTA
Zimbra can be configured to check the IP addresses of incoming messages with the SpamRATS RBL. In addition to standard RBLs, SpamRATS offers you the possibility to configure Authentication RBL, which can protect you from Business Email Compromise. The configuration can be done by running few simple terminal commands.
First off, you need to access the zimbra user on your server (su zimbra). Afterwards, run the following terminal commands as zimbra user:
zmprov mcf \ +zimbraMtaRestriction "reject_rbl_client noptr.spamrats.com" \ +zimbraMtaRestriction "reject_rbl_client spam.spamrats.com" \ +zimbraMtaRestriction "reject_rbl_client dyna.spamrats.com"
