Check URIBL within spamassassin

You get SpamAssassin messages like this?

0.0 URIBL_BLOCKED          ADMINISTRATOR NOTICE: The query to URIBL was blocked.
                           See http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/DnsBlocklists#dnsbl-block for more information.

If it doesn't work you might get this answer:

# host -t TXT 2.0.0.127.multi.uribl.com
2.0.0.127.multi.uribl.com descriptive text "127.0.0.1 -> Query Refused. See http://uribl.com/refused.shtml for more information [Your DNS IP: 188.40.24.99]"

instead of that:

# host -t TXT 2.0.0.127.multi.uribl.com
2.0.0.127.multi.uribl.com descriptive text "permanent testpoint"

You might have to remove the forwarding DNS server from your local caching bind.
