I had SIMS working fine with the three MAPS-sponsored blacklists (RBL,
RSS, and DUL) until they recently began requiring subscriptions. At that
point, I decided to subscribe to RBL+, but I haven't been able to get it to
work.

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Removed previous entries in the RBL DNS Servers list and entered:

rbl-plus.mail-abuse.org

2. Noting that queries on x.x.x.x.rbl-plus.mail.abuse.org return a
different range of responses compared to RBL/RSS/DUL, I removed
127.0.0.2-127.0.0.10 from my blacklisted addresses and replaced it with
127.1.0.1-127.1.0.7. When this didn't help, I entered the range as seven individual
addresses, one per line, and I've left it that way.

3. Configured TCP/IP on the mail server so that the local DNS server
(which also happens to be the local mail server) is on the first line of the
Name server addr. field. Previously, the mail server was using our ISP's
DNS servers for its own queries, as a way of taking the load off of MacDNS.
However, it seems that the subscription system requires rbl+ queries to be
made directly from the registered DNS server.

Still no luck. I suspect the problem is that MacDNS can't handle the
proper query class. In which case, would QuickDNS or NonSequitur
<http://www.gross.net/nonsequitur/> be a likely solution to my problem?

Thanks in advance.
