Is the best way to do this - not via DNS.
Depends what you're trying to achieve. I thought the objective was a
block list of email addresses that could be queried via the DNS by any
application... Your suggestion doesn't really capture the requirements.
and what is the benefit of using DNS? why not rsync/svn/wget/... ?
In this particular example, the list should be used for preventing your
users sending emails *to* those addresses. Many organisations rightly or
wrongly don't perform spam filtering on their outgoing relays so
spamassassin is a bit over the top when you can just use another dns
based bl.
with rsync or the like, you can simply add the addresses (no MD5, no
anything) to an access list that your MTA can use.
It sounds like you're asking me what the benefit of distributing a block
list via the DNS is? If yes, type "dnsbl" into google. If not, please
clarify ...
