This is encouraging.  I looked up how to set recursion in Bind.  It
looks like it's just requires adding a field to the options:

|allow-recursion { any; }; |But it lists other options such as
allow-query, allow-query-cache, etc.  Is recursion the only one that
might be affecting SA?  Or should I enable other options?

sorry but *no*

it means nothing else than *remove* any forwaridng statements

the stuff above is just to limit which clients are allowed to make recursive queries

Hmm. I do not have any forwarding statements. Is there a way via command line (e.g. nslookup, etc) that I can determine if BIND is recursing or forwarding?

If BIND is forwarding to a server that can't do DNSBL lookups (which are a critical piece of SA catching the spam you shared) then "nslookup 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org" will return no records. If it is recursing (and your server isn't handling a large volume of mail) then you should get back 3 address records pointing to 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.4, and 127.0.0.10

I assume that might be in the SA report header. But see my previous response that I can't seem to ever get report headers... Yuck...

In a report header you'd see something like URIBL_BLOCKED.
