Seems to be affecting only Zen.Spamhaus?

I have 2 checks in my config, I also check spamcop in addition to
spamhaus:

   deny    message = Message Rejected - listed at 
$dnslist_domain\n$dnslist_text
           dnslists = bl.spamcop.net
           log_message = listed at spamcop.net


I left this in place alone and received an email over ipv6 via gmail
fine.

I'm a bit uneasy about this though, since Zen.Spamhaus catches about
98% of spam and generally is a better list than spamcop (more
extensive).

I am at a loss as to why this problem has started... My setup at my old
host was much the same.
