Howdy,
I've noticed that some of my email, coming from an internal spam filter is being marked as spam:

According to spamhaus, 127.255.255.254 is not a confirmation of SPAM (https://w ww.spamhaus.org/news/article/807/using-our-public-mirrors-check-y our-return-cod es-now.) , but rather an indication that the system querying its services do not provide a rDNS. So is there a way to not mark this as spam?
I tried to update the spamblock_exempt.cfg with the relays IPv6 address (..:9759), but it doesnt seem to make a difference. Does this accept IPv6 addresses?
On a related topic, I tried to enable email forwarding to another email that I read more often, but mail never made it.

I assuming the forwarding failed, because the email wasnt actually from bt.e2013...@...dlcm.co, it was from <REDACTED>
Anyway to fix that?

Does this accept IPv6 addresses?
It does appear so, yes. Wildcards should be supported too, but not "..".

OK, so it isnt working. (And I'm not using ".." literally, I just didnt want to retype the IPv6 address. It is listed there in full, as well as the /60 CIDR.
Mail coming from my relay is still being marked as spam.
Here is the contents of my spamblock_exempt.cfg
2406:3400:314:2490::/60
2406:3400:314:2497:f1d0::1
2406:3400:314:2494:20c:29ff:fed9

No.
The "actual" from addresss is xxxx@xxx.co, but for some reason an upstream mailer is probably setting some headers, that is making synchronet think it is "from" bt.e2013xrc30=4ns5qw4x12kd=6lyqyydln5@em427968.dlcm.co, or sbbs is using that header as the "from" address when forwarding it on.
When a receipent "reads" the email, it shows the correct from address xxxx@xxx.co, and even in the logs it reports the correct from address, but it is sending it from the bt.e2... address for some reason:
Aug 12 21:37:36 d-11-1 synchronet: mail 0177 SMTPS [2406:3400:314:2497:f1d0::1] Added message header #4944 from 'Deon George' <REDACTED> to 'deon.george@bbs.leenooks.net' <REDACTED1>
IE: If the message is from bill@example.com to bob@example.com, and you configure synchronet to forward bob@example.com to john@example.com, is looks like synchronet is attempt to send it as interal_tracking@tracking.example.com to john@example.com, and since tracking.example.com is a valid email address used by an upstream provider to track bounces it is rejecting the message because it didnt send an email with that tracking ID to john@example.com.
It should be forwarding the message from bill@example.com to john@example.com.
Mail coming from my relay is still being marked as spam.
Here is the contents of my spamblock_exempt.cfg
2406:3400:314:2490::/60
2406:3400:314:2497:f1d0::1
2406:3400:314:2494:20c:29ff:fed9
The IPv6 address matching in that file is just like any other string match (e.g. "2406:3400:314*" won't match
"2406:3400:0314*"),
could that be the issue? You can also experiment with the JavaScript system.findstr("spamblock_exempt.cfg", <ip-addr>) to see
how/if the matching works. It's the same underlying code used in the mail server to check for exempt addresses.
Create an issue on gitlab.synchro.net with those details and I'll try to reproduce and resolve that issue later.
