OK, so I'm a little behind on my email reading.....

Out of curiosity, how are you blacklisting outside of SIMS?

I run a local DNSBL.

While I don't use the blacklist in SIMS (I have a firewall running sendmail in _front_ of SIMS), I have been maintaining a blacklist that -- for all intents and purposes -- would be the same as a SIMS blacklist: It's just a text file of IP addresses.

I too would like to set up a local DNSBL, and was wondering what the best
way to do this would be, as far as the zone setup goes.....

To make updates simple, it would seem that initially you'd like to set
up ALL the possible "reverse" zones, but this seems like overkill for all
the zones that would contain nothing.

On the other hand, having to:
  a) define the zone (and any "sub-zones");
  b) make the zone file (and zone files for any subdomains);
  c) and THEN add the desired blacklist entry,
seems like a lot to do to add one entry.

If you don't mind sharing, Bill, what methodology did you use to
set up your DNSBL ??
