DNSBLOG(8) DNSBLOG(8)
<b>NAME</b>
dnsblog - Postfix DNS allow/denylist 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 allow/denylist 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
allow/denylist domain name, an IP address, and an ID. If the IP
address is listed under the DNS allow/denylist, 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.
