Thank you for this, this is most helpful. Yes, I read the link. On this
related note, it appears that mentioning dnsmasq as a non-forwarding caching
Nameserver on this page
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CachingNameserver is a mistake. From the
dnsmasq  documentation
<http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html>  :


> Dnsmasq is a DNS query forwarder: it it not capable of recursively
> answering arbitrary queries starting from the root servers but forwards
> such queries to a fully recursive upstream DNS server which is typically
> provided by an ISP

As I read it, it means that "non-forwarding dnsmasq" is simply nonsensical.
What am I missing?

Also, it appears to me that the ISP provider caches not any worse than the
local server dns server would cache, so could you please explain, what
benefit caching them locally provides over using already set up DNS server
at ISP? Even if we imagine that ISP's DNS is non-caching, I can't see an
apparent benefit: TTLs on uribl.com is 2 hours, my system may be get 20
emails during this time span or less, probability that some of them come
from the same ip is quite low, so benefits of caching look non-existent.

Now I'm not a linux person at all less so a system administrator, and I
learned about spamassassin just a few days ago, so clearly I'm missing
something, could you please fill in the gaps please?
