Hi

I decided to sign up and see what the costs and terms would be.

Below is from the site once I was logged in.

Please ensure that you run your rsync downloads at xx:43 (ie, every two to 
six hours at the specified minute).
To download the data using rsync, you should use one of the following 
commands (or some useful variation):

    * rbldnsd: rsync --times rsync2.dnswl.org::dnswl/rbldnsd-* /some/path/
    * Postfix: rsync --times rsync2.dnswl.org::dnswl/postfix-* /some/path/
    * BIND: rsync --times rsync2.dnswl.org::dnswl/bind-* /some/path/
    * Notes/Domino: rsync --times rsync2.dnswl.org::dnswl/notes-* 
/some/path/
    * generic: rsync --times rsync2.dnswl.org::dnswl/generic-* /some/path/
    * SpamAssassin: rsync --times rsync2.dnswl.org::dnswl/sa/* /some/path/

The --times is important to ensure that file modification dates are kept 
unchanged. Please note the different path pattern for the 
SpamAssassin-formatted files.
IP addresses are activated if a valid, paid subscription is found. The time 
it takes to activate an IP address depends mainly on the payment method 
used. If you add an IP address and already have an active subscription, it 
will be activated within approx. 5 minutes. The last transfers for each IP 
are shown in the "Last Seen" columns above.
Reputation and trust is built over time. That is the main reason why the 
data at dnswl.org changes rather slowly (especially when compared to DNS 
blacklists). It is therefor usually sufficient to run rsync once an hour. 
Please respect the minute assigned for your download.



Available Subscriptions

Accredited education institutions (schools, universities, ...) and 
tax-exempt not-for-profit organisations qualify for a reduced rate 
subscription below. If you are unsure whether you qualify for a reduced 
rate, or if you believe that you qualify for free access (eg because you 
contribute data or resources to dnswl.org, or for research purposes), please 
contact us at of...@dn....

Please note that your subscription will be verified prior to activation. 
Please round the number of users to nearest higher limit (if you have 700 
users, you must select the 1'000 users product). Please contact us if the 
user-based model is not appropriate for your intended usage.
