One thing you may try is to tune up your DNS server cache(Increase 
max-cache-size and set cleaning-interval to a value of your choice.

Yeah, it's something on this end. Probably the name server we'd been
using is being used by others and it did too many queries. I'll set up a
local cache on the mail server. That should solve that particular
problem since we don't do anywhere near the daily limit for the free
service.

Howdy again folks,
I checked into this a bit more and I found that positive responses for
the test system are returned from a machine other than the server I was
using. That machine uses a different dns server, so that must be what
happened. The recursive name server we've been using obviously did too
many combined queries. How irritating. Thank you for your help Jerome.

I'm aware of that particular limitation. We have been using a DNS server
other than the ISP's. However, it is one others have access to, so I
suppose that could be the problem. However, I'm not getting an error
looking up stuff. It's just everything appears to be returning nxdomain.
I tested this using nslookup.

In addition, I performed the test spamhaus says to perform in order to
test the blacklist functionality. It returned a message to me saying my
blacklisting was not working properly. Here is my config line from
/etc/courier/esmtpd:

BLACKLISTS='-block=zen.spamhaus.org,BLOCK'

I haven't changed anything though, so I don't think this would be the
problem. Interestingly, there was some kind of networking issue at the
site where this server is located, hardware problem. No lookups have
returned positive since right around the time that happened.

I'm still seeing about 8000 messages blocked per day (1600 so far this
morning).  So it seems to be working fine.

Hello, 
Spamhaus is known to block DNS servers who perform too many queries to
their DNS servers.
If you use your ISP DNS, it could be the issue. One easy thing to test: 

nslookup .zen.spamhaus.org @
nslookup .zen.spamhaus.org @

For example, Google DNS are blocked.

HTH.
Jerome

Howdy folks,
I was wondering if anyone happens to know if zen.spamhaus.org is having
any sort of troubles? I've noticed an increase in the amount of spam
making it through my server, and I checked the mail logs to see about
the blacklists. The last time anything was blocked by spamhaus was April
27 in the evening. I usually have several spamhaus hits per day. Anyone
else noticing this or did I mess something up on my end and I just
haven't realized it yet? Thanks in advance for your help.
