I am struggling for a few weeks to be able to query domains against spamhaus' DBL. I am capturing a list of newly registered domains, and looking to see if any of these domains have been flagged by spamhaus DBL block list. I am using the command dig dbltest.com.dbl.spamhaus.org which should return a response: `;; ANSWER SECTION: dbltest.com.dbl.spamhaus.org. 60 IN A 127.0.1.2` to confirm that it has been flaged as phishing but instead I just receive an error: communications error to 127.0.0.1#53: timed out . I have set up a new Ubunutu server and have also installed unbound and DNSMasq to see if using these would resolve the issues but to no avail. Has anyone been able to query against Spamhaus DBL?
