Hi,

thanks Axb for pointing this out, but, just to be clear, the CBL itself
is not being retired in the sense that the data will not be available
anymore.

CBL has been integrated in XBL (and thus in ZEN) for years, so the
default SA setup is already ok to deal with this change, that is
basically transparent for everyone using the default ruleset.

This is relevant only for people that have custom rules that directly
query cbl.abuseat.org. If this is your case then please switch to
xbl.spamhaus.org asap, and check if your query volume respects our terms
and condition (https://www.spamhaus.org/organization/dnsblusage/)
because they are going to be enforced.
