You're correct, mail-abuse.org has removed the TXT records
from the relays service. djbdns doesn't require a patch
though, djbdns is name servers and associated programs,
I think you meant rblsmtpd, that does need the patch if you
want to use the MAPS relay server. DJB's view of the issue
on the rblsmtpd web page is that BIND is the problem since
it can't handle all the TXT records so MAPS should use his
DNS server instead.
So anyway... get rbldns built and installed, I put mine
in /var/rbldns and set it's root zone to myspamblocker.com
Once you have it ready to go, add the appropriate entries
into it's data file:
/var/rbldns/root/data or whever you install it, and edit
your /etc/resolv.conf to have the line: server 127.0.0.1
assuming you're running rbldns on 'locahost'. Of, if you
want to customize your bounce messages, go into that data
file again and on the first line, you can put:
:127.0.0.2:Your message goes here $
That will bounce the mail with the message of your choice
followed by the IP address of the connecting server.
Finally, just add this line to your qmail-smtpd startup
script after rblsmtpd is called: -r myspamblocker.com
That will have it look up all entries on your new rbldns
server, bounce them if a match is found, and then go on
to the next dns server if no match is found.
Good luck,
Dave

Hey people,
Sorry for the cross-posting!
But I just want to know how is this now? Is mail-abuse.org still not
providing TXT records for listed IP addresses in relays.mail-abuse.org?
Does djbdns V. 1.02 still requires a patch like
http://www.cqc.com/~pacman/projects/rblsmtpd-rss/ to use an A record?
I'm using this in my /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run:
# ... \
# rblsmtpd -rrelays.orbs.org -rrbl.maps.vix.com -rdialups.mail-abuse.org
\
# ...
Is this the best choice? How could I make qmail-smtpd use rbldns in my
localhost? I already have a dnscache running in this machine. I think it
would be better to have a Secondary zone for those dns zones in my
rbldns server.
Your help would be really appreciated!
