This is a feature.
A while back, someone copied a data file to a dnsbl server, the
connection dropped and the file was truncated. And they had no error
checking.
So rbldnsd interpreted a lone '1' on a line by itself as being
1.0.0.0/8. It was decided that this was rather undesirable behaviour :)
Consult the archives from last year.
Thanks,
David
