I asked about this on the spamtools list on the 12th to deafening
silence.
On that day, if you were to look at their status page,
http://dsbl.org/nsstatus, you would have seen half of their DNS
primaries listed as broken. Today I see "page not found" with a
generic drupal error message. Not looking promising if you ask me.
Time to stop using it, as far as I am concerned.
I stopped using the list a few months ago. Rejections based on the
list was at ~0.06% of the total number of RBL rejections. The figures
were ~3.7 million total RBL rejections to ~2,500 dsbl.org rejections.
It my eyes, the list was not worth keeping around when the server(s)
are handling over seven(7) million messages per day.
my numbers are even less than yours... (and on different
networks/companies, so it's not just my mail). This make me think that
it won't survive.
dsbl was good at the time, but nowadays, most spam comes from zombies
and networks that don't get listed per dsbl policy/mechanisms.
