fyi: spamhaus' "SBL-XBL" dnsbl being replaced by "ZEN"

steve linford of spamhaus has recommended that people switch now:

"> Is there any reason not to change?

None, I advise everyone to change now.

The SBL-XBL zone will continue to exist for some time but will not of
course contain the new PBL DNSBL and will not contain other future
DNSBLs we may release. ZEN is designed to be safely hard-coded into spam
filter appliances and commercial filters."

i presume this will have effects on the SBL- & XBL- related rules here.

i kept kill-filing so much of nanae in my reader that finally it was
just easier to killfile *, and whitelist Linford.

he pops up there with some useful info every once in awhile :-)
