Well I expected this would be more complicated than defining DNS blacklist servers list. Hower thanks to great defaults, all you need is to put list into user defines (separate file which is included early like /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/000_localdefs should be best place):

CHECK_RCPT_DOMAIN_DNSBLS = dnsbl.njabl.org : \
                            bl.spamcop.net : \
                            blackholes.five-ten-sg.com : \
                            cbl.abuseat.org : \
                            smtp.dnsbl.sorbs.net : \
                            spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net : \
                            zombie.dnsbl.sorbs.net : \
                            web.dnsbl.sorbs.net : \
                            rhsbl.sorbs.net : \
                            sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org : \
                            psbl.surriel.com : \
                            list.dsbl.org

phpMyAdmin started to be hosted on SourceForge long time ago (AFAIR it was in 2001). It has served mostly good for it's purpose, but these days, it's getting like nightmare.

First, at the end of March, CVS servers crashed and since that time anonymous CVS is disabled. Well at least that does not stop developing. Last week developer CVS server crashed. It has been disabled since then and we're now waiting for new CVS infrastructure, which should be ready several months ago (at least they promised so). This stopped phpMyAdmin development and also delayed deployment of some security fixes.

Okay, problems happen, but why the hell they didn't announce this on status page until some personal intervencies happened?

And I'm a bit confused about their "priority support" which is provided for subscribers. More than two days old report and no answer? I'm probably not going to pay next year...
