Hi Doug,

You are right on track. I would put 127.0.0.2 - 127.255.255.255 in your
Block ip address list. Some RBL's use more than just "2".

Also if you want to block a Class 8 or 16 or 24 network you can put this in
QDS zone file.

*.bb.cc.dd.rbl.pecandeluxe.com
*.cc.dd.rbl.pecandeluxe.com
*.dd.rbl.pecandeluxe.com

Does anyone have an easy way to add other IP ranges /28, /20, /12...
