Hey that's today!

I'm heading over there early to hang out in the Library,
but before I go, here is something to think about.

I run a Postfix mail server and have been using
Spamhaus for DNS based spam blocking.

It used to work like this:

Feb 17 04:12:59 fcs12 postfix/smtpd[8683]:
   NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from 0x3e42bf61.adsl.cybercity.dk[62.66.191.97]:
      554 Service unavailable;
       Client host [62.66.191.97] blocked using sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org;
         from=<_tnebopyh at OSRAM.NO> to=<kwright at free-comp-shop.com>
         proto=ESMTP helo=<0x3e42bf61.adsl.cybercity.dk>

but now I see mostly this:

Feb 21 11:23:49 fcs12 postfix/smtpd[1604]:
  warning: 161.22.12.221.zen.spamhaus.org: RBL lookup error:
     Host or domain name not found.
     Name service error for name=161.22.12.221.zen.spamhaus.org
     type=A: Host not found, try again

Should America worry?

News at seven.
