With Spamhaus, you can also pay and use their infrastructure for
customers (a different one).  They call it the "Datafeed Query Service".
SURBL is also advertising a similar product, they call it "Private Query
Service".

These are much simpler to set up, and you do not need to do anything
to the local DNS configuration.  But using those services has nothing
to do with this mailing list ..
