No. cron doesn't "manage" logs. cron runs log parsers that generate
reports. but the logs are somewhere on your system. if you are using a
standard syslogd, then you can find the path in /etc/syslog.conf. if you
can't find them, you'll need to ask on a forum dedicated to your OS.

that check only blocks specific spam: spam that uses an address in your
domain in the envelope sender (MAIL FROM command). this envelope sender
is what you see in the Return-Path header in the sample you posted.

instead of spending time on theory, why don't you run the command that I
told you?
$ host 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org

and yes, the 300000 are DNS queries. if you don't get a lot of mail,
then your DNS server won't be blocked, unless it forwards queries to
your ISP.

so you need to rebuild/reinstall it.
