Subject: [exim] SBL checks not working
Hi Guys,

I moved my exim install to a new install of FreeBSD at a new host, my
SBL checks seem to be broken! It seems that almost anything coming in
via ipv6 is being flagged as being in an SBL, since the exim mailing
list appears to deliver over ipv6, the list was being blocked too!

from my reject log:

I have the following in my exim config:

   deny    message       = Message Rejected - $sender_host_address is in 
a blacklist at $dnslist_domain\n$dnslist_text
           dnslists      = zen.spamhaus.org
           log_message   = listed in zen.spamhaus.org


Exim version is 4.80.1.

Any ideas?

is it a dns related thing perhaps?
