queying fresh.fmb.la despite skip_rbl_checks
Hi,

I've just noticed that spamassassin queries <senderdomain>.fresh.fmb.la
despite me having set "skip_rbl_checks 1" in my local.cf
The only way I seem to be able to stop it from being queried is to set
"dns_query_restriction deny la"

This happens both on FreeBSD 12.2
SpamAssassin version 3.4.4
running on Perl version 5.32.0

and on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04.1)
SpamAssassin version 3.4.4
running on Perl version 5.30.0

Am I missing something? Shouldn't fmb.la be affected by the
skip_rbl_checks setting? And if not, are there other rbls I'm
unknowingly querying that I should know of?

That list is queried via AskDNS.

Maybe a tflag on the AskDNS to mark it as an RBL lookup? This doesn't exist
currently

Adjusting to "dns_query_restriction deny fmb.la" will avoid just this
domain lookups
