Excessive Queries

Leon — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:31:48 GMT

I am using exim with spamassassin. In my logs I see this:

 -3.0 RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED RBL: Sender in Validity Certification -
                             Contact certification@validity.com
 [Excessive Number of Queries | <https://knowledge.validity.com/hc/en-us/articles/20961730681243>]

I think I am far away from the 10.000 queries. Can I see my usage somewhere in the account? Or via API?

Ah, sorry!
I have just realised, that I forgot to install unbound on one of my spamassassin-servers.
So I used a big nameserver, that then had the excessive queries...
