RBL Blacklisted [dnsbl.ahbl.org shutdown?]
Posted by lunahost, 01-07-2015, 04:35 AM I receive a server report email every morning, today it flagged up a critical on the RBL Blacklist with dnsbl.ahbl.org. So i visited their website to see they have shut down their service So i'm guessing this is the reason it has flagged up? Is there anyway to remove this RBL from the list i don't know if this is a cPanel thing but can't see this RBL in the EXIM configuration... beyond that i'm not sure where to look.

There isn't a core default in cPanel that would send you such an email, or at least, as far as I know. If you can't figure it out and it's annoying you receiving this email, you may just like to add a filter to your email client to block messages with dnsbl.ahbl.org in them. That is of course quite a band-aid fix. Just a thought.

I'm not sure what sends me the report, but it's the same report i see when logging in to the terminal, it is emailed to me every morning, it looks something like this:
