Query Service provides dedicated realtime access to all Spamhaus DNSBLs from a private dedicated network of Spamhaus DNSBL servers and uses traditional DNS queries so mail server configuration is simple and straight forward.
Mail system administrators already familiar with using public Spamhaus DNSBLs can switch to using the Datafeed Query Service in minutes, with no software to install.
Unlike Spamhaus's free but very high traffic public query service which operates on donated resources and can not be used by commercial or heavy users, the Datafeed Query Service utilizes high-speed servers maintained by Spamhaus's engineering group which guarantees the availability of the service even to very heavy users.

Rsync Service provides synchronization of the Spamhaus Blocklists (SBL, XBL, PBL and DROP) to your DNS server on your network every 30 minutes. (To use this service you need to be operating your own DNS server)
This method eliminates external network latency problems and significantly speeds up email filtering on large mail systems.
For large networks Rsync service has strong advantages over the traditional DNS query scheme: 1) it is still based on DNS queries, so there is little difference (if any) in your mail servers configuration; 2) all DNS queries are local on your network, so the turnaround time is short and entirely under your control; this means shorter transit times for messages.
This service utilizes Rsync as the data synchronization method and Rbldnsd to serve the DNSBL zones locally. Rbldnsd is a free DNS server (available for UNIX and Windows) specifically designed for fast loading and serving of large DNSBLs.
