Thanks for reading this. I'm setting up DNS-based Blackhole list lookups for my sendmail MTA, and I'd appreciate help. This is not a sendmail question as yet: I'd like to solve a problem with 'dig' before starting sendmail tests. First, I try to get a response from the ordb dns, but when I do a command like: dig @relays.ordb.org 2.0.0.127.relays.ordb.org any I get a response that says "connection timed out; no servers could be reached". When I log all packets, I'm seeing this sequence: Oct 29 15:41:10 billhorne kernel: IN= OUT=eth0 \ SRC=65.96.15.133 DST=63.240.76.19 LEN=61 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 \ TTL=64 ID=5003 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=1088 DPT=53 LEN=41 Oct 29 15:41:10 billhorne kernel: IN=eth0 OUT= \ MAC=00:20:af:30:da:9d:00:0b:5f:ee:aa:a8:08:00 \ SRC=63.240.76.19 DST=65.96.15.133 LEN=272 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 \ TTL=240 ID=55038 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=53 DPT=1088 LEN=252 Oct 29 15:41:10 billhorne kernel: IN= OUT=eth0 \ SRC=65.96.15.133 DST=62.242.0.190 LEN=74 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 \ TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=1088 DPT=53 LEN=54 Oct 29 15:41:11 billhorne kernel: IN=eth0 OUT= \ MAC=00:20:af:30:da:9d:00:0b:5f:ee:aa:a8:08:00 \ SRC=62.242.0.190 DST=65.96.15.133 LEN=56 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 \ TTL=40 ID=37948 DF PROTO=ICMP TYPE=3 CODE=3 \ [SRC=65.96.15.133 DST=62.242.0.190 LEN=74 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 \ TTL=43 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=1088 DPT=53 LEN=54 ] Oct 29 15:41:15 billhorne kernel: IN= OUT=eth0 \ SRC=65.96.15.133 DST=62.242.0.190 LEN=74 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 \ TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=1088 DPT=53 LEN=54 Oct 29 15:41:15 billhorne kernel: IN=eth0 OUT= \ MAC=00:20:af:30:da:9d:00:0b:5f:ee:aa:a8:08:00 \ SRC=62.242.0.190 DST=65.96.15.133 LEN=56 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 \ TTL=40 ID=38535 DF PROTO=ICMP TYPE=3 CODE=3 \ [SRC=65.96.15.133 DST=62.242.0.190 LEN=74 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 \ TTL=43 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=1088 DPT=53 LEN=54 ] So my questions: why am I receiving ICMP type 3, code 3 respones? If I understand the docs, it's a "Port Unreachable" response, yet I don't see any mention of a special port number for DNS queries in the ordb.org FAQ. I can ping relays.ordb.org OK, and their web site is online. TIA. Bill Horne
