Anyway, please bear with me as I do have a few more questions. In
this thread before, some people thought I should look at a possible
DNS problem, or perhaps my system is exceeding the daily threshold
for spamhaus. All they say at the spamhaus FAQ is that if you
exceed the threshold "your access to Spamhaus's public DNSBL
servers is very likely to be cut off without warning". We already
established that since I am on a shared hosting system, it is
entirely possible that we (as a system, but not as a domain) may be
exceeding the threshold, but I don't know how to go about checking
at spamhaus to see if that is indeed the case.
try:
$ host 2.0.0.127.zen.spmahaus.org
2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org has address 127.0.0.4
2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org has address 127.0.0.10
2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org has address 127.0.0.2
BTW, what DNS server(s) are you using?

I got this:
$ host 2.0.0.127.zen.spmahaus.org
Host 2.0.0.127.zen.spmahaus.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
my bad, it's spamhaus, not spmahaus.
That can't be good.
it's good for now :) try with the correct name...
I do not know what dns server we are using at bluehost.
First, look in your /etc/resolv.conf. this will show you where the
nameservers are.
I did a ps and searched for anything that looked like a dns server,
but couldn't find any. Sometimes it can really suck being on a
shared system like this.
Running a mail server on a shared system is problematic. if you only
do filtering (and not MX or submission), it should work provided you
get the DNS right.
my nameservers are running on different boxes other than this one. This
box just has the web and mail servers. Typical shared system. I ran
the host command a few times and got two different responses.

As for the CPU exceeded error that a few of you got (if you went to
website, pelorus.org), that happens occasionally if I am doing something
CPU intensive. Not related to this--at least I don't think it is. I'm
pretty sure all they do is stop serving up web pages when you get a in
CPU exceeded situation. I don't think they'd turn off internal DNS lookups.
I sure do appreciate the help you guys are giving me here. Thanks a
bunch! :)
