the senderbase service is free only up to a given number of queries, after that, any further DNS query coming from a given IP won't get a valid answer (or will get a "pass"); now, if you're running ASSP and either have a lot of traffic or (worse) configured your box to use some open resolver (like OpenDNS or GoogleDNS) then what you're seeing is normal; see, a lot of people uses open resolvers and since the DNS lists (not only senderbase !) can only see the IP of the DNS server which sends them a query (and no, NOT the IP of the box issuing the query, the IP of the DNS to which the box sends it !) it's easy for such open resolvers used by a lot of people to get "blocked" by such lists, be those senderbase, spamhaus or whatever else ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
