[SURBL-Discuss] Help please - SA 3.0.2 and surbl

[Kevin A. McGrail]

What happens if you just DNS query the test points? Something simple like:

nslookup 2.0.0.127.multi.surbl.org

should return:

Name:   2.0.0.127.multi.surbl.org
Address: 127.0.0.2

or

nslookup surbl-org-permanent-test-point.com.multi.surbl.org

returns 127.0.0.2

or something real like nslookup 022shop.com.multi.surbl.org

returns 127.0.0.64 currently.

Regards,
KAM
