Are there any other DNSBL use cases?
There are some additional, limited use cases.
- Using the data in the SBL and XBL portions of the Spamhaus DNSBL zones can be used to prevent blog and guestbook spam and abuse.
- Some Apache webserver plugins like mod_spamhaus and Squid DNSBL redirector can be used to ban blocklisted visitors to a website.
NOTE: Reading the FAQ on the XBL is a must before trying these techniques.
