I just wanted to post this on the list for some help. I've setup rbl in the exim configure as follows:

rbl_domains = relays.ordb.org/reject
# check all hosts other than those on internal network
rbl_hosts = !192.168.0.0/24:0.0.0.0/0
# but allow mail to postmaster@??? even from rejected host
recipients_reject_except = postmaster@???
# change some logging actions (collect more data)
rbl_log_headers = yes  # log headers of accepted RBLed messages
rbl_log_rcpt_count = yes       # log recipient info of accepted RBLed messages


There appears to be a DNS error when I snoop the interface during incomming mail (test sent from ashi.footprints.net to ferrer.yi.org:

But there appears to be a DNS name error in there. What do you think?
