InSpammerBlackList not behaving?

Hi all,

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, or misunderstanding, but it appears to
me that the InSpammerBlacklist matcher is matching all the time, regardless
of address.

I've added logging to my InSpammerBlacklist matcher and recompiled and I see
this in the log:

22/06/03 18:44:49 INFO  James.Mailet: InSpammerBlacklist: Looking
up...'67.35.205.24.blackholes.mail-abuse.org'

22/06/03 18:44:49 INFO  James.Mailet: InSpammerBlacklist: Host exists

However, when I look it up from the command line (using my James configured
DNS servers):

# host 67.35.205.24.blackholes.mail-abuse.org 66.139.72.6
Using domain server:
Name: 66.139.72.6
Address: 66.139.72.6#53
Aliases:

Host 67.35.205.24.blackholes.mail-abuse.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
#

I'm thoroughly confused, am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding?

Which version of James?

Add something to display the IP address.  That could be helpful.  Also, what
are the DNS servers listed in the DNS server log?

FWIW, http://www.openrbl.org/ip/24/205/35/67.htm shows a single entry for
24.205.35.67, but not where you should've been looking.  I checked it this
way to test:

$ /usr/local/java/bin/java -cp dnsjava-1.3.2.jar dig 67.35.205.24.njabl.org
A
; java dig 0.0
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: STATUS, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 7014
;; flags: qr rd ra ; qd: 1 an: 0 au: 1 ad: 0
;; QUESTIONS:
;;      67.35.205.24.njabl.org., type = A, class = IN

(likewise for ordb and osirusoft), which exercises dnsjava's core code for
testing.  As you can see, we got the desired NXDOMAIN.

Kenny,

I would not use those block lists.  The latest version of config.xml has a
different set.
