Hi,

I am running DNSBLs out of postscreen:
        postscreen_dnsbl_sites = <secret>.zen.dq.spamhaus.net=127.0.0.[2..11] 
<secret>.combined.mail.abusix.zone

Until recently those detected bots tried it a couple of times and gave up. Now, 
there are a significant number of bots trying every couple of minutes over days 
:-(

Normally I wouldn't care, but as I am using Spamhaus and Abusix low traffic 
plans I pretty much scratched the daily limit of 5000 queries.

Thus I patched postscreen to tell blacklistd to block those bots as defined in 
/etc/blacklistd.conf.

This works fine at my sites.

But before bothering the maintainer with a PR of my private interest I want to 
ask here:

Anyone else interested?

Regards,
Michael
