Well, on the page that the original link led to this page was linked: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CachingNameserver It suggested some alternative, and I started working through them from the top. I dismissed bind outright because it looks heavyweight and hard to configure to me. Now I'm not an expert and my opinion does not have much weight, but since mine is only one that I had at the time and considering that I'm the person who ultimately will need to configure and run the thing I moved one. The second one was dnsmasq. After a few painful hours I discovered that it is not suitable at all for the reasons you can find above. The third in the list was djbdns. The installation was almost without a hitch. The only two things (both of witch stemmed from the same issue) is that it is incompatible with resolvconf ubuntu package so I had to unistall that. The next thing was that in the absence of resolvconf, resolve.conf got overwritten every type a dhcp lease would be renewed so I would lose the nameserver record. When I got through these two no further configuration was necessary, it just worked. So I'm pretty happy with the result so far. In short: when you get several options offered to you, and you have no prior knowledge you've got to pick one randomly. That's what I did. -- View this message in context: http://spamassassin.1065346.n5.nabble.com/Why-do-I-get-both-URIBL-DBL-SPAM-and-URIBL-BLOCKED-tp109457p109469.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
