Live DNSBL Add-on · from PRO

DNS / RBL Zone

The same blacklist served over DNS as a private RBL zone. Add one line to Postfix, Rspamd or BIND RPZ and connecting attackers are rejected in real time, the way mail servers already expect.

Why this exists

A downloaded blocklist is out of date the moment you import it, and importing it on every server is a cron job you have to maintain. A DNS zone has neither problem: your mail server asks at the moment of the connection and gets the current answer.

Postfix, main.cf

conf
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
    permit_mynetworks,
    permit_sasl_authenticated,
    reject_rbl_client <your-token>.bl.reportedip.de=127.0.0.[2..3],
    ...

One directive covers IPv4 and IPv6, Postfix builds the reversed query for either family itself. RFC 5782 test point: looking up 127.0.0.2 always answers, so you can verify the setup without waiting for a real attacker.

Frequently asked questions

How do I block bad addresses at my mail server?

Add the zone string to Postfix, Rspamd or BIND RPZ as shown above. Connecting attackers are rejected before the message body is ever transferred.

Does this replace Spamhaus?

No, it sits next to it. Spamhaus is strong on mail abuse, this zone is strong on addresses caught attacking websites, which often precede the spam run.

What is in the zone?

The same high-confidence subset as the blacklist feed: 75 % confidence or higher, with a 48-hour false-positive cool-down before anything is listed.

What if a legitimate address gets listed?

Delisting is free and does not require an account. Submit the address and it is checked, with the scoring history attached to the decision.
