DNSBLOG(8postfix)                                                               DNSBLOG(8postfix)

NAME
       dnsblog - Postfix DNS allow/denylist logger

SYNOPSIS
       dnsblog [generic Postfix daemon options]

DESCRIPTION
       The  dnsblog(8)  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  postscreen(8)
       server.

PROTOCOL
       With  each connection, the dnsblog(8) 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 dns-
       blog(8)  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 dnsblog(8) server closes the connection.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8) or postlogd(8).

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
       Changes  to  main.cf  are  picked up automatically, as dnsblog(8) processes run for only a
       limited amount of time. Use the command "postfix reload" to speed up a change.

       ing examples.

       daemon_timeout (18000s)
              How  much  time  a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a request before it is

       postscreen_dnsbl_sites (empty)
              Optional list of DNS allow/denylist domains, filters and weight factors.

       ipc_timeout (3600s)

              channel.
