RCVD_IN_RP_CERTIFIED always -3

Hi all

 

Setup

Postfix with amavis, spamassassin and pyzor

 

Problem

Every email postfix receives gets a RCVD_IN_RP_CERTIFIED=-3 score. This
leads to SPAM passing the filter.

 

My findings so far

From what I think I understood, RCVD_IN_RP_CERTIFIED checks against a list
of "trusted" servers, which are considered to not send SPAM. The list is
maintained by "Return Path" (Validity). I found the related configuration in
20_dnsbl_tests.cf:

 

#
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Return Path Certified:

# https://www.returnpath.net/internetserviceprovider/certification/

# (replaces RCVD_IN_BSP_TRUSTED, RCVD_IN_BSP_OTHER, RCVD_IN_SSC_TRUSTED_COI)

header RCVD_IN_RP_CERTIFIED     eval:check_rbl_txt('ssc-firsttrusted',
'sa-trusted.bondedsender.org.')

describe RCVD_IN_RP_CERTIFIED   Sender in ReturnPath Certified - Contact
[email protected]

tflags RCVD_IN_RP_CERTIFIED     net nice

reuse RCVD_IN_RP_CERTIFIED

 

It seems Returnpath/Validity have gone out of service  - is this correct?
Neither the URL above is working nor can I resolve
sa-trusted.bondedsender.org. Even worse, sa-trusted.bondedsender.org is
blacklisted by UCEPROTECTL3.

 

If RP is dead, is there an alternative? Or am I missing something here?

 

Thanks a lot for your support,

Mark
