Does your mail user agent (MUA) convert the 8-bit binary name to Punycode? If not, why is your DNS resolver willing to try to resolve it? I assume some MUAs and DNS resolvers are broken and try to handle bad URLs like that or the bad guys would not send messages like that. Or perhaps the targets of the messages are intended to manually type the non-ASCII characters into the location bars of web browsers and the web browsers convert to Punycode. > Is it possible to somehow encode > such domains in Punycode and only then use DNSBL? > > Now this situation in the logs looks like this: > --- > DNSBL helper URL \208\210\201\215\197\212.\210\198 > gethostbyname(\208\210\201\215\197\212.\210\198.dbl.spamhaus.org): Unknown > host\n That looks like a bug the the dccproc/dccifd/dccm code that detects URLs. The code should either realize that the 8-bit string is not an HTTP URL and ignore it or the code should convert to Punycode before checking DNSBLs. Ignoring would be easier. > > That might be a bug.
