Hello,

I uinderstand that spamdyke's RBL checking is fundamentally different
to the system that RBLSMTPD uses in that spamdyke checks for any
record whereas RBLSMTPD checks only for a TXT record.

Were I to use spamdyke then IPs would be blocked that I wish to accept
but spamassassin score as past offenders like this one for example-

 dig 23.114.74.212.rbl.holtain.net txt

; <<>> DiG 9.5.2 <<>> 23.114.74.212.rbl.holtain.net txt
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4354
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;23.114.74.212.rbl.holtain.net. IN      TXT

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
rbl.holtain.net.        3600    IN      SOA     ns2.holtain.net. 
niamh.holtain.net. 1305045513 7200 7200 604800 3600

dig 23.114.74.212.rbl.holtain.net a

; <<>> DiG 9.5.2 <<>> 23.114.74.212.rbl.holtain.net a
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 8550
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;23.114.74.212.rbl.holtain.net. IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
23.114.74.212.rbl.holtain.net. 2016 IN  A       127.0.0.3

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
rbl.holtain.net.        236     IN      NS      ns2.holtain.net.
rbl.holtain.net.        236     IN      NS      ns3.crosswell.holtain.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns2.holtain.net.        3600    IN      A       217.146.107.58
ns3.crosswell.holtain.net. 3600 IN      A       94.30.54.246



So I can score this address with this rule-

header      NH_HOLTRBL_TWICE            
eval:check_rbl_sub('holtrbl-lastexternal','127.0.0.3')
describe    NH_HOLTRBL_TWICE            Received from a source listed twice at 
rbl.holtain.net
tflags      NH_HOLTRBL_TWICE            net
score       NH_HOLTRBL_TWICE            1.6
