I'm not part of your problem or your solution. I don't own the TTL of the records of remote DNS servers (should be under 5 seconds, but ??). However - your domain is no longer listed as of this post time, nor are several others logged today. The vendor may have had problems - their home page suggests they have numerous DNS issues. I think that is fairly normal for black list providers.

There is nothing I can have done to affect your status with them. The problem did not exist on Feb 03, as I have a post from you on that day. Having once run the world's largest DNS farm for several years this problem looks to me like a DNS server was brought up in the uribl farm but before it had current tables, or a server in the farm that was misbehaving was removed. Other problems may also present these symptoms (expired keys, slaves out of sync...), but the general idea is the same. Stale server data on at least one server in their farm.

Your problem did alert me to a configuration issue here. My whitelist information for the Clamav list server had old information in it which I expect is related to the takeover of ClamAV by Sourcefire who was then consumed by Cisco. That whitelist information was put in place 7 or more years ago and until recently it wasn't a problem.

Perhaps your blackholing problem is an indication of more problems - we can ask the members to repeat the nslookup of your domain to see if others get the results I got below.

nslookup geneslinuxbox.net.multi.uribl.com should return address not found. If it is 127.0.0.X then there is still an issue.

Dennis, you seem to be using a very old cache of uribl, I have been cleared
from that list for around 6 weeks now.  And whatever you have done, is now
black holing my msgs to the list.

FYI - I had some bounces this week because Gene Heskett's URI in the
following quote is trapped by uribl.com:

nslookup geneslinuxbox.net.multi.uribl.com
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   geneslinuxbox.net.multi.uribl.com
Address: 127.0.0.2

This post is also a test for me to see if I've whitelisted the list
server.

Cheers, Gene
