URIBL blocked

Good afternoon list.
Please could someone explain the following

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


The link shows:


A: DNS-Blocklists often run on the "free for some" model and/or they may limit the number of queries you can perform to maximize resources.

If you were directed to this link from a rule description, then you have a DNS-Blocklist that is purposefully blocking your queries.

Resolving the block might be as simple as using your own caching nameserver to avoid being lumped together with other users queries; setting up your own mirror of the DNS-blocklist; or paying to use the blocklist. The choice is up to the DNS-Blocklist administrator.

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SpamAssassin"]SpamAssassin supports the "free for some" model since it works for the majority of http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SpamAssassin"]SpamAssassin installations. However, we do not support methodologies that purposefully return wrong answers and those DNS-Blocklists will be disabled by default.

The following blocklist providers have implemented a Block Notification Rule with http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SpamAssassin"]SpamAssassin:
Okay, so my question is, How can I rectify this as we use our own caching servers already?

Thanks
Tom

Contact the people who are blocking your lookups (URIBL) and ask them
what you need to do to get unblocked.

I would look at getting a datafeed:
http://www.uribl.com/datafeed.shtml [7]

Out of interest, how much
volume of email are you processing to experience this?

Are you sharing
your external IP with any other of your ISP customers? Does your ISP do
anything strange with DNS queries?
