+DNSBLOG(8) DNSBLOG(8)
+
+<b>NAME</b>
+ dnsblog - Postfix DNS white/blacklist logger
+
+<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
+ <b>dnsblog</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]
+
+<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
+ The <a href="dnsblog.8.html"><b>dnsblog</b>(8)</a> server implements an ad-hoc DNS white/blacklist lookup
+ service. This may eventually be replaced by an UDP client that is built
+ directly into the <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> server.
+
+<b>PROTOCOL</b>
+ With each connection, the <a href="dnsblog.8.html"><b>dnsblog</b>(8)</a> server receives a DNS white/black-
+ list domain name, an IP address, and an ID. If the IP address is
+ listed under the DNS white/blacklist, the <a href="dnsblog.8.html"><b>dnsblog</b>(8)</a> server logs the
+ match and replies with the query arguments plus an address list with
+ the resulting IP addresses, separated by whitespace, and the reply TTL.
+ Otherwise it replies with the query arguments plus an empty address
+ list and the reply TTL; the reply TTL is -1 if there is no reply, or a
+ negative reply that contains no SOA record. Finally, the <a href="dnsblog.8.html"><b>dnsblog</b>(8)</a>
+ server closes the connection.
+
+<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
+ Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a>.
+
+<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
+ Changes to <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> are picked up automatically, as <a href="dnsblog.8.html"><b>dnsblog</b>(8)</a> processes
+ run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "<b>postfix reload</b>"
+ to speed up a change.
+
