Well, this *is* an error indicating that bopm's resolver library
can't get a valid response from your nameservers.

Does it happen every time a user connects?

What happens when you look up things in the DNSBL manually, e.g.

$ host 1.0.168.192.opm.blitzed.org

You don't have a firedns.conf in the same directory as bopm.conf,
which would be overriding /etc/resolv.conf, right?
