.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This works by analysing message text and \s-1HTML\s0 for URLs, extracting host
names from those, then querying various \s-1DNS\s0 blocklists for either:
\&\s-1IP\s0 addresses of these hosts (uridnsbl,a) or their nameservers (uridnsbl,ns),
or domain names of these hosts (urirhsbl), or domain names of their
nameservers (urinsrhsbl, urifullnsrhsbl).

.IX Item "skip_uribl_checks ( 0 | 1 ) (default: 0)"
Turning on the skip_uribl_checks setting will disable the \s-1URIDNSBL\s0 plugin.
.Sp
By default, SpamAssassin will run \s-1URI DNSBL\s0 checks. Individual \s-1URI\s0 blocklists
may be disabled selectively by setting a score of a corresponding rule to 0
or through the uridnsbl_skip_domain parameter.
.Sp
See also a related configuration parameter skip_rbl_checks,
which controls the DNSEval plugin (documented in the Conf man page).
.IP "uridnsbl_skip_domain domain1 domain2 ..." 4
.IX Item "uridnsbl_skip_domain domain1 domain2 ..."
Specify a domain, or a number of domains, which should be skipped for the
\&\s-1URIBL\s0 checks.  This is very useful to specify very common domains which are
not going to be listed in URIBLs.
.IP "clear_uridnsbl_skip_domain [domain1 domain2 ...]" 4
.IX Item "clear_uridnsbl_skip_domain [domain1 domain2 ...]"
If no argument is given, then clears the entire list of domains declared
by \fIuridnsbl_skip_domain\fR configuration directives so far. Any subsequent
\&\fIuridnsbl_skip_domain\fR directives will start creating a new list of skip
domains.
.Sp
When given a list of domains as arguments, only the specified domains
are removed from the list of skipped domains.

.IP "uridnsbl \s-1NAME_OF_RULE\s0 dnsbl_zone lookuptype" 4
.IX Item "uridnsbl NAME_OF_RULE dnsbl_zone lookuptype"
Specify a lookup.  \f(CW\*(C`NAME_OF_RULE\*(C'\fR is the name of the rule to be
used, \f(CW\*(C`dnsbl_zone\*(C'\fR is the zone to look up IPs in, and \f(CW\*(C`lookuptype\*(C'\fR
is the type of lookup (\fB\s-1TXT\s0\fR or \fBA\fR).   Note that you must also
define a body-eval rule calling \f(CW\*(C`check_uridnsbl()\*(C'\fR to use this.
.Sp
This works by collecting domain names from URLs and querying \s-1DNS\s0
blocklists with an \s-1IP\s0 address of host names found in URLs or with
\&\s-1IP\s0 addresses of their name servers, according to tflags as follows.
.Sp
If the corresponding body rule has a tflag 'a', the \s-1DNS\s0 blocklist will
be queried with an \s-1IP\s0 address of a host found in URLs.
.Sp
If the corresponding body rule has a tflag 'ns', \s-1DNS\s0 will be queried
for name servers (\s-1NS\s0 records) of a domain name found in URLs, then
these name server names will be resolved to their \s-1IP\s0 addresses, which
in turn will be sent to \s-1DNS\s0 blocklist.
.Sp
Tflags directive may specify either 'a' or 'ns' or both flags. In absence
of any of these two flags, a default is a 'ns', which is compatible with
pre\-3.4 versions of SpamAssassin.
.Sp
The choice of tflags must correspond to the policy and expected use of
each \s-1DNS\s0 blocklist and is normally not a local decision. As an example,
a blocklist expecting queries resulting from an 'a' tflag is a
\&\*(L"black_a.txt\*(R" ( http://www.uribl.com/datasets.shtml ).

.IX Item "uridnssub NAME_OF_RULE dnsbl_zone lookuptype subtest"
Specify a DNSBL-style domain lookup with a sub-test.  \f(CW\*(C`NAME_OF_RULE\*(C'\fR is the
name of the rule to be used, \f(CW\*(C`dnsbl_zone\*(C'\fR is the zone to look up IPs in,
and \f(CW\*(C`lookuptype\*(C'\fR is the type of lookup (\fB\s-1TXT\s0\fR or \fBA\fR).
.Sp
Tflags 'ns' and 'a' on a corresponding body rule are recognized and have
the same meaning as in the uridnsbl directive.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`subtest\*(C'\fR is a sub-test to run against the returned data.  The sub-test may
be in one of the following forms: m, n1\-n2, or n/m, where n,n1,n2,m can be
any of: decimal digits, 0x followed by up to 8 hexadecimal digits, or an IPv4
address in quad-dot form. The 'A' records (IPv4 dotted address) as returned
by DNSBLs lookups are converted into a numerical form (r) and checked against
the specified sub-test as follows:
for a range n1\-n2 the following must be true: (r >= n1 && r <= n2);
for a n/m form the following must be true: (r & m) == (n & m);
for a single value in quad-dot form the following must be true: r == n;
for a single decimal or hex form the following must be true:
  ((r & n) != 0) && ((r & 0xff000000) == 0x7f000000), i.e. within 127.0.0.0/8
.Sp
Some typical examples of a sub-test are: 127.0.1.2, 127.0.1.20\-127.0.1.39,
127.0.1.0/255.255.255.0, 0.0.0.16/0.0.0.16, 0x10/0x10, 16, 0x10 .
.Sp
Note that, as with \f(CW\*(C`uridnsbl\*(C'\fR, you must also define a body-eval rule calling
\&\f(CW\*(C`check_uridnsbl()\*(C'\fR to use this.

define a body-eval rule calling \f(CW\*(C`check_uridnsbl()\*(C'\fR to use this.
.Sp
An \s-1RHSBL\s0 zone is one where the domain name is looked up, as a string; e.g. a
\&\s-1URI\s0 using the domain \f(CW\*(C`foo.com\*(C'\fR will cause a lookup of
\&\f(CW\*(C`foo.com.uriblzone.net\*(C'\fR.  Note that hostnames are stripped from the domain
used in the \s-1URIBL\s0 lookup, so the domain \f(CW\*(C`foo.bar.com\*(C'\fR will look up
\&\f(CW\*(C`bar.com.uriblzone.net\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`foo.bar.co.uk\*(C'\fR will look up
\&\f(CW\*(C`bar.co.uk.uriblzone.net\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
If an \s-1URI\s0 consists of an \s-1IP\s0 address instead of a hostname, the \s-1IP\s0 address is
looked up (using the standard reversed quads method) in each \f(CW\*(C`rhsbl_zone\*(C'\fR.
