spamd, DnsResolver, and URIDNSBL errors?

Hello all.. Running OS/X, SA 3.1.3 ...

Recently, and unfortunately, I don't check my logs that often, but it 
goes back at least as far back as my logs go (5 days), I'm getting 
the below in my mail.log:

I've googled both, and can't find much of any help..

Any hints, helps, tips appreciated.

Thanks.

Could be.  Simply reversing the order of lines in resolv.conf might determine 
this.

If the first server was down, dns would have to time out (usually 10 to 30 
seconds) before the query would fall-over to the second server.

If the first server was set to reject connections instantly, fallover is 
almost instant, but your only if you have (and use) a secondary.

Instant rejection is what competent ISPs use when doing maintenance.

<rant>
Even a minimalist configuration of  nscd on the mail server allows for
working around this sort of problem and using DNS servers of your
choice.  Often the secondary server provided by you ISP is less busy
than the primary.  It is not necessary to blindly take what ever
is offered to you via DHCP.

Possibly.  My recollection is that Net::DNS only looks at the first server
entry in resolv.conf.  So if that server happens to not be running named, the
system may work fine (assuming multiple entries in resolv.conf), but Net::DNS
would barf.

Ok this cleared up the other problem, so something is lame about
your router.  Time for a reboot of that router perhaps.  

Check its configuration to see if it allows you to manually code a 
dns server for the local subnet, and put your ISPs IP in there.  Its no
different that sending it to the router and having it send it onward 
to the ISP.

Now you just have a bases DB problem.
Sounds like this user was either root, or some other user that did not
have  bayes set up yet.

Yes, that's normal.  You can prevent this in your DHCP setings.
But the better solution is to solve it at the router.

And fyi, it appears on a reboot, /etc/resolv.conf is reverted back to 
192.168.1.66.

Manually change that to your ISPs DNS server, or better yet, to his
Secondary.  Try that for a bit...

my resolv.conf consists of
nameserver 192.168.1.66
(my router).

I'm open to suggestions, or a hint to a link of which ones I may be missing?

Thanks.

You'd think...

Yeah.

In that case I'd expect different errors than "Connection Refused".

It seems likely that he would have notices such a glaring deficiency, No?

Without DNS, a whole lot of stuff is broke.

I wonder if he has all necessary Perl Modules.

Verify that the DNS server is actually running on any hosts that
you're looking to for DNS services. /etc/resolv.conf should list them.

"Connection Refused" means there's nothing listening at the port
you're trying to connect to. In this case, it smells like your DNS
server isn't running, or your host is configured to get DNS services
from a computer that isn't running a DNS server.

As for the others, correcting the first error may fix the rest.
