I haven't tried using the new plug-in with SA, but I have been using the list in a postfix restriction list (in place of redacted.dbl.dq.spamhaus.net) on several of my mailservers:

reject_rhsbl_sender redacted.dbl-beta.dq.spamhaus.net=127.0.[0..2].[0..255] reject_rhsbl_reverse_client redacted.dbl-beta.dq.spamhaus.net=127.0.[0..2].[0..255]
reject_rhsbl_helo redacted.dbl-beta.dq.spamhaus.net=127.0.[0..2].[0..255]

Since I started in early December 2021 these restrictions have not caught any incoming mail, whereas the same but using dbl.dq.spamhaus.net on another of my mail servers continue to pick up many (with minimal fps).

Am I doing something wrong, or is this expected behaviour?

Hi,

you are not supposed to use the abused-legit component of DBL in Postfix, because the target of that DNSBL is to list abused websites mostly seen in the email body, that are often used as redirectors to more spammy domains. Doing the rejections your way can unfortunately only lead to more FPs

The correct way to do it is by checking the URLs in the email body, either by using our plugin or in some other ways.
