OK, I can do that, but there isn't anything in the troubleshooting for DNSBL regarding how your IP address is assigned.  It just recommends that you use your own, caching DNS server.  If that is important, maybe it should be mentioned in the docs?

This may be an issue with getting your outgoing mail accepted on other mail servers, but it shouldn't make a difference with DNSBL lookups.

I put the following in my local.cf. This does not work?

dns_available yes
# - REDIRECT DNS LOOKUPS TO LOCAL "unbound" service to avoid RBL bans
dns_server 127.0.0.1
then your machine is *not* using 127.0.0.1 as the only DNS server
So does this "dns_server" directive in my local.cf file work as expected?  If so, my SA *is* using 127.0.0.1 as the only DNS server.

As far as I know, it should work.  I just have it set in my /etc/resolv.conf so it is used for everything on the machine.  This is the simplest setup unless you have some reason to need a different type of DNS for other things.

The main thing with setting up a DNS server for DNSBL lookups is not "caching", it is "non-forwarding".  Take a look at your unbound settings and make sure it is doing all of the lookups itself and not forwarding to another server.
