I'm guessing you're running qmail on these servers?
What you need to do is find the place in the scripts where it starts
the tcpserver for qmail-smtpd. This might be
/etc/rc.d/init.d/<something>, like qmailsmtpd, or smtpd, or whatever;
or it might be in another init file somewhere. If you know how your
systems' startup works, you can probably find it easily.
Mine looks kinda like this:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver-qmail -v -pR -c50 -u70 -g70
-x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 0 smtp /usr/bin/rblsmtpd -b -r
relays.radparker.com /usr/bin/rblsmtpd -b
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger
smtpd 2 &
(it just got wrapped by mail; it's actually one line).
See the multiple invocations of /usr/bin/rblsmtpd? The -r switch on
each of those gives the DNS domain to verify against. Looking at the
details on the web pages for the various MAPS things will tell you
which domains they put their info in. (And rblsmtpd without a -r
switch does RBL). Mine, above, is doing RSS and RBL.
This is the older version of rblsmtpd; the latest one can take
multiple domains on one invocation.
Also, a more recent installation might be using svscan and supervise;
in that case you need to look for the run file in a subdirectory of
the directory svscan is told to look in.
