This is a common problem and has been discussed on this list many times before. I wish SpamAssassin had a better way to handle this rule hit and explaining to the server admin but I don't think this is possible. Basically you need to point to a DNS server that you manage or know for sure that it's not forwarding to another DNS server. It's not required to have a local DNS server on your SA box but it's the best way to know for sure that it's doing full recursive lookups, not forwarding to other DNS servers that will consolidate your queries with others pushing you over the free usage limits and thus hitting this rule. Note that if your mail volume is high enough, you may still hit their free usage limit even after doing this. Dave
