OK, I can do that, but there isn't anything in the troubleshooting for DNSBL regarding how your IP address is assigned.  It just recommends that you use your own, caching DNS server.  If that is important, maybe it should be mentioned in the docs?

I put the following in my local.cf.  This does not work?

then your machine is *not* using 127.0.0.1 as the only DNS server
So does this "dns_server" directive in my local.cf file work as expected?  If so, my SA *is* using 127.0.0.1 as the only DNS server.

It should. Do a test dig @127.0.0.1 to make sure unbound is resolving properly. I am trying to do a test query from my mail servers to multi.uribl.com and not getting any response right now. I have tried from multiple locations on the Internet so I could show you exactly how to tell you when you are blocked.

According to the SA rules, if you get back a response with xxx.xxx.xxx.1 then your query volume is too high and you hit URIBL_BLOCKED. The way to resolve this is to run your own local DNS that does it's own full recursive lookup and does not forward to any other DNS server.

Forwarding to other DNS servers combines your queries with potentially other queries to the RBL and you don't want that. You want your DNS queries to be independent from any other so they are as few as possible to stay under free usage limits.

If you are sure your DNS queries are isolated (not forwarding) and you still hit URIBL_BLOCKED, then your only option is to disable those RBLs by scoring them as 0.
