I think sa-folks would have this already in some URIBL rule. What are
the scores you assign for a dbl positive hit ?
I assume my current datafeed would already extend to data access on the
dbl list. I will have to setup my rbldnsd before trying this out.
The new Spamhaus DBL may not be used with current versions of SpamAssassin.
A new version of SpamAssassin will be released soon which adds support for
the DBL. Check out the DBL FAQ at
http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers.lasso?section=Spamhaus%20DBL which
explains why - as quoted below:
**************
SpamAssassin 3.3.1 Upgrade *Required*
SpamAssassin 3.3.1 is due to be released shortly and should coincide with
the release of the DBL. SA 3.3.1 has new code for dealing specifically with
domain-only URI BLs such as the DBL. To use the DBL you must upgrade to
3.3.1. SpamAssassin versions prior to 3.3.1 query URI blocklists for URIs of
both type domain "http://abc.domain.tld"; and IP "http://1.1.1.1";, however
DBL does not support IP queries; in fact it prohibits them.
DBL should not be used in versions of SpamAssassin prior to 3.3.1 because
older versions of SpamAssassin make both IP and text queries to URI
blocklists. The DBL supports only domain (text strings not dotted quads)
queries. Do not 'hack' versions of SpamAssassin prior to 3.3.1 to add DBL
support, for example by reusing a SURBL or URIBL configuration for DBL. You
risk wrongly flagging legitimate email if you make IP queries to the DBL.

Also check out the announcement at
http://www.spamhaus.org/news.lasso?article=655 which goes into further
detail on this new list.
Cheers,
