(Vamsoft ORF is a spam-filter.) Basically uribl.com was returning 127.0.0.1 to _all_ queries from nameservers that are sending high volumes (presumably without paying for it) as some kind of punishment. http://uribl.com/ confirms that.

  "After investigating this further, it seems the affected ORF users
   all use Google public DNS servers for the queries (or use such servers

Anyone using open recursive DNS servers or their ISP's DNS server for DNSBL queries is asking for trouble. The listing is to get the attention of the sender. It's "antisocial".
