Description Daryl C. W. O'Shea 2008-09-24 20:16:21 UTC 
"DSBL is GONE and highly unlikely to return. Please remove it from your mail server configuration.

DSBL was a blocklist specialized in listing open relays and open proxies. To put it simply, DSBL listed IP addresses of computers that could be tricked into sending spam by anybody. This was a very successful strategy. Nowadays open relays and open proxies are rare, spammers hardly ever use them any more and no software seems to come with an open-by-default policy any more."


I'm too tired to remember how to push an update right now, so this is a reminder for me or someone to remove the rules and push an update.
