Hi,

I am running DNSBLs out of postscreen:
	postscreen_dnsbl_sites =3D =
<secret>.zen.dq.spamhaus.net=3D127.0.0.[2..11] =
<secret>.combined.mail.abusix.zone

Until recently those detected bots tried it a couple of times and gave =
up. Now, there are a significant number of bots trying every couple of =
minutes over days :-(

Normally I wouldn't care, but as I am using Spamhaus and Abusix low =
traffic plans I pretty much scratched the daily limit of 5000 queries.

Thus I patched postscreen to tell blacklistd to block those bots as =
defined in /etc/blacklistd.conf.

This works fine at my sites.

But before bothering the maintainer with a PR of my private interest I =
want to ask here:

Anyone else interested?

Regards,
Michael
