I also take issue with the statement "it would've only impacted misconfigured sites" since we also had a check from within Postfix and had all of our mail blocked until we figured out what was going on simply by the amount of time no mail was showing up in our inboxes.

postfix reported nothing, so must check for appropriate response codes, and I certainly hope it checks 127.* not just .2, as we are not to know every DNSBL's response codes.

Our only alert was an internal monitor on our own IP's - just basic check script in perl, that's what alerted us to the problem, and as its a monitor not a block its handy to see if *any* errors occur, and re-coccur

According to reports, any query for *.spamcop.net resulted in an A reponse to a landing page (there were no NXDOMAINs), so when not specifically checking for 127.0.0.2 but just for a positive reply, any query would be seen as a hit. As such, the incident would have only impacted misconfigured sites.

I've received a report from someone that said that all IP lookups against the 
SpamCop blocklist resulted in blocks during this time. Did anyone else have the

lookup implementation (saying an IP is in the list, as opposed to returning an 
error, when the blocklist DNS is unavailable), or if it was something larger.

    We have the domain back now, but we have to wait for propagation delays. If 
you query the name servers they Arne mentioned, that should give you the right 
IPs.

    Sorry for the trouble, folks. Now I have to go see who needs flogging.
