--- Comment #2 from Joe Quinn <[email protected]> ---
This tool should also run a test query through the machine's DNS to see if it
will hit URIBL_BLOCKED. This is probably the single most frequently asked
question on users@.

I suggest querying test.uribl.com.multi.uribl.com (a documented testpoint per
http://uribl.com/about.shtml). If it comes up 127.0.0.1, the current setup will
be blocked. If it comes up 127.0.0.14, the current setup will most likely not
be blocked.

For a nicer error message, we can also do a PTR lookup of the nameserver being
resolved. If I ran the tool on my home system, it might say:

Your current nameserver at router.manufacturer.com (192.168.1.1) will be unable
to perform most RBL lookups due to rate limiting. Make sure you are not using a
public nameserver, or your ISP's nameserver. Also make sure your current
nameserver is not forwarding to one of these.

The SpamAssassin project recommends setting up your own local caching
nameserver. For information on how to set one up, see
