Check out these sites.  www.corpit.ru is the main site for rbldnsd.  I
got some help off of the rbldnsd mailing list when setting it up here a
week or so ago.

I compiled and installed it from the source.  Rbldnsd only takes it's
configuration information on the command line, so you'll probably want
to create your own startup script.

I have some custom code that I've added to MailScanner that stores
information about mail processed by MailScanner which has been
classified as spam or having viruses.  I then have another program that
checks those log entries and generates a blacklist in rbldnsd format.
