FTR, I don't read messages which arrive on discussion lists as _attachments_, so the only reason I even saw the above is that someone else quoted your attachment back to the list.

If you're not _REVERSING_THE_IP_QUADS_:

        1.2.3.4

        becomes:

        4.3.2.1.<dnsbl_zone>

then you're not making the queries properly.
