First of all, that's my old webpage. I'm surprised that it
hasn't been taken down, since I did cancel that account. I'll
have to check with the ISP. The zones listed on that page are
out of date and will not work. The new webpage is at
http://www.waltdnes.org/email/dnslists
The currently valid zone lookups for the various DNS lists are...
NSLOOKUP=`nslookup ${REVERSED}.dialups.mail-abuse.org`
NSLOOKUP=`nslookup ${REVERSED}.inputs.orbs.org`
NSLOOKUP=`nslookup ${REVERSED}.blackholes.mail-abuse.org`
NSLOOKUP=`nslookup ${REVERSED}.relays.mail-abuse.org`
Re; getting rid of the error message. The only thing I can
think of is to turn off logging before the first lookup, and
turning it back on after the last lookup. The logging is doing
its job, i.e. noting that "nslookup" failed. This is due to the
fact that "nslookup" wasn't really intended to be used this way.
Then again, email wasn't intended for sending spam.
