I’m suddenly getting entries like this in my Postfix log. Can anyone tell me what they are and why they have suddenly appeared? Are these IP addresses or Reverse IP?

When using publicly available DNS Servers like Google, etc, a lot of the RBL’s restrict the lookups, Spamhaus being one of them. Usually, using your ISP DNS Servers, or for example running your own DNS Server that then queries Google or other public DNS servers would get around this problem. Since Spamhaus, would then see either your ISP’s DNS Servers making the query, or your DNS server which uses your public IP making the queries, instead of the public available ones.
I got the same here.
In this specific case, it has nothing to do with that restriction, but it just happens that unsubscore.com has
discontinued its service. So:
Just remove the following line from your /etc/postfix/main.cf and reload your postfix.
Yes, I think you are correct. I blocked ALL Stretchoid’s scanners along with binary edge ninja and Shodan scanners and as soon as I did those I started getting those messages. Coincidence? Unless they have shut up shop for EVERYONE, I doubt it and yes, my tinfoil hat fits just fine!
