yes, it's very bizarre :( as there is no specific european directive
or local law that regulates this, all of this depends on the
interpretation done by the data protection agency. I have the same
question also about dns queries and running a public recursive dns
server. What they say is that when the users connects to your system
you are allowed to store and use that ip address to provide the service
the user is connecting to and to protect your servers for being abused
(also there is a specific law that obligates each service provider to
keep all the logs for a specific time period). Maybe it could be
moe than possible that quering a blacklist could be considered as
'protecting your servers' (altough it implies transferring personal
data to countries with lower data protection guarantees).
