URIBL_SBL timeouts running MS in debug mode.

Thank you for the answer - I thought I had turned off spamhaus checking
- where is that option configured?

hehehe - that gave me a good laugh ;-)

I think Alex meant - reply should be something like:

[root at speedy ~]# host 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org
2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org has address 127.0.0.10
2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org has address 127.0.0.2
2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org has address 127.0.0.4

If you get a timeout instead, then you've been firewalled by Spamhaus 
(see http://www.spamhaus.org/organization/dnsblusage.html) and you'll 
need to purchase a datafeed from them or stop querying the lists.

I believe the SpamAssassin folks are going to be disabling the Spamhaus 
tests by default in the next major release due to this policy (see 
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5641).

Kind regards,
Steve.
