Using Spamhaus DNSBL queries on KEKhost/KEKhosting's Network

Posted:  May 14th, 2018

 

How to use Spamhaus DNSBL (ZEN and DBL) on our network.

 

Symptom:

 

Doing a DNSBL query to Spamhaus ZEN or DBL DNSBL will not reply any data, thus increasing incoming spam on the server.

 

These DNSBL are used by default in SpamAssassin and are quite good at blocking incoming spam

 

Resolution:

 

Install a local recursive DNS server for any outgoing DNS queries.
