Jan already mentioned how to setup your local zone in named.conf. We are
doing that for the spamhaus and surbl zones that we mirror. Just wanted
to say that we use spamhaus as a dnsbl in sendmail to outright block IPs
on the Spamhaus SBL/XBL list. In over 2 years and a few 100k messages a
day, I think we've had 2 complaints. And Spamhaus is the ONLY list i
trust as a sendmail dnsbl. Others may have a different experience, but
we've had very good experience from Spamhaus. When they wanted to start
charging for the service, my boss simply said "How much? Pay them."
