Hello, The skiprbldomains file: is to enter names of local domains (our customers) do not want to check for blacklisting emails that come to them? or is it to enter remote domain names that should not be checked against the blacklists? (example gmail.com, hotmail.com .. or any other domain that is not on our servers) Thanks!

  It's what domains should not be checked against the RBLs when sending mail TO your server.

  Thanks vanessa, but after read some documents on exim.org my doubt persists. on exim.org says: [QUOTE] domains = This condition is relevant only after a RCPT command. It checks that the domain of the recipient address is in the domain list. If percent-hack processing is enabled, it is done before this test is done. If the check succeeds with a lookup, the result of the lookup is placed in $domain_data until the next domains test.
  In the exim.conf (generated by whm) this is the result for include skiprbldomains: [QUOTE] domainlist skip_rbl_domains = lsearch;/etc/skiprbldomains # BEGIN INSERT spamhaus_rbl deny message = JunkMail rejected - $sender_fullhost is in an RBL, see $dnslist_text hosts = +backupmx_hosts dnslists = zen.spamhaus.org warn !domains = +skip_rbl_domains dnslists = zen.spamhaus.org set acl_m8 = 1 set acl_m9 = "JunkMail rejected - $sender_fullhost is in an RBL, see $dnslist_text" warn condition = ${if eq {${acl_m8}}{1}{1}{0}} ratelimit = 0 / 1h / strict / per_conn log_message = "Increment Connection Ratelimit - $sender_fullhost because of RBL match" drop condition = ${if eq {${acl_m8}}{1}{1}{0}} message = ${acl_m9} # END INSERT spamhaus_rbl
  In this moment mi file "skiprbldomains" have a list of few domains blacklisted on spamhaus, but dont work. I also noteworthy that the reference to "skip_rbl_domains" appears under "warn" and not under "deny message" "is this correct?

  The text in the exim.conf you pasted supports my original answer. You can see that it's checking whether a domain exists in the file before applying the failure to it. Have you checked your mail logs for the domains that should be whitelisted to see exactly what is happening?

  Hello :) The "/etc/skiprbldomains" file is designed for local domain names on your server that do not want incoming email checked against RBLs. For instance, let's say you host domain123.com, and you want to ensure it receives email from AOL.com when AOL.com is added to an RBL. You would add domain123.com to /etc/skiprbldomains so it can receive email from AOL.com. This is documented here: Skip RBLs on specific domains Thank you.

  Michael, thanks for the clarification !, Maybe would be good explain more detail the use of "skiprbldomains" on documentation of cpanel. ;), and consider another list to permit ignore rbl result for some remote domains. In this thread I posted a solution that works fine for me.
