It's good to mention this because we need to implement it the same for URIBL.
My understanding back like 2 years ago was that URIBL changed to a block of the
query and not to return false positives.
I can tell you that I have nothing on my public NS for URIBL that gives out FP
answers. I do have the rbldnsd ACL implemented which I believe does interfere
but only in a blocking/pretend there is no data way.
Blocking/pretending no data for queries is considered acceptable, I believe.
AXB, can you confirm otherwise?
