[rbldnsd] thanks and a couple questions

[steve]

Thanks for a great product and informative mailing list archives.

I was tasked with setting up dnsbl the other day and after looking through
the mailing list archives and reading on the web I have now set up a
working test that rsyncs one of dsbl's lists, loads it into RBLDNSD, and I
have set up a procmail recipe, based on one I found on the web, to use dig
to query the RBLDNSD and if the ip is in the blacklist, it gives me a
127.0.0.[0-9], which matches the response I am looking for, and puts the
mail message into the spam folder after adding a line that states that the
ip address was found in dsbl.

The reason I am using dig is when I tried to use nslookup I got Query
refused but with dig, RBLDNSD accepts the queries. So, what have I
misconfigured to get query refused but dig works?

Also, the only way I have been able to test my setup is to add a mail
server's ip that I am sending through to the blacklist because I am not
getting any spam. What is a quick way to get spam so I can put the setup
through its paces?
