[NTLUG:Discuss] How does MAPS RBL work?

[Chris J Albertson]

mail-abuse.org does work with DNS lookups, but they are a for-profit group. They
will let hobbyists use their stuff, but you need to sign a contract first.
So, just flat-out doing DNS queries to them won't work.
Also, it's been a bit since I looked into them, but I believe you need to do a
DNS replicate with them, rather than a direct query.

One way I can think that one would implement this would be by the use of BIND9+
views. This would allow you to specify what IP addresses are able to query your
domain.

Good luck!

Quoting Neil Aggarwal <neil at JAMMConsulting.com>:

 Hello:
 
 We are running a DNS blacklist and want to also offer a subscription
 service like the MAPS RBL list at http://mail-abuse.org/
 
 Does anyone know how their system works?
 
 If I do:
 	dig on 2.0.0.127.blackholes.mail-abuse.org
 
 I don't get an answer.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Thanks,
 	Neil
