Details

Sets a list of DNS blocklists to use, if $wgEnableDnsBlacklist is set to true. This replaced $wgSorbsUrl .

Changes in 1.19

Array values can either be a string containing the URL of the DNS blocklist, or an array containing the URL of the blocklist and an associated "key" should the blocklist require one.

Example

$wgDnsBlacklistUrls = [
    'http.dnsbl.sorbs.net.', # String containing URL
    [ 'dnsbl.httpbl.net.', 'mykey' ], # Array with URL and key, for services that require a key
    [ 'dnsbl.tornevall.org.' ]  # Array with just URL. While this works, it is recommended that you just use a string as shown above
];

or

$wgDnsBlacklistUrls = [
    'xbl.spamhaus.org.',
    'dnsbl.tornevall.org.',
    'spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net.',
    'rbl.dnsbl.im.',
    'noptr.spamrats.com.',
    'all.s5h.net.',
    'z.mailspike.net.'
];

You can find DNSBL-format spam databases on DNSBL.info or other similar websites.

You should end the domain name with a "." to avoid searching your eventual domain search suffixes.
