We’d like to say a big “thank you” to all of you who have been testing
the beta version of the Spamhaus Domain Blocklist (DBL) with hostnames.
How are you getting on with it? Have you encountered issues? Are you
noticing a reduction in false positives with the abused-legit component
of the DBL? How’s the plug-in (with the recommended configuration
changes) working for you?
If you could find the time to let us know we would really appreciate it.
REMINDER - Access to the beta version of the DBL with hostnames is
through the free Public Mirrors until January 31st, 2022. However, when
it moves to production on February 1st, 2022, it will only be available
via the Data Query Service (DQS) or rsync, i.e., not the Public Mirrors.
The DQS is available for free to non-commercial users;
_https://www.spamhaus.com/free-trial/sign-up-for-a-free-data-query-service-account/_.
This means that if you have changed your plug-in config to test the beta
DBL you will need to upgrade it to use the production DBL. An updated
plug-in will be released on Jan 11^th , 2022. We will continue to make
the beta zone available for two weeks after the Production version of
the blocklist goes live to provide time to ensure these config changes
are made.
