<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Is rbldnsd no longer distributed in CentOS? If I recall correctly, I was
able to run a test where I got it running on CentOS several months ago -
using the standard "yum -y install rbldnsd" command - but then I spun up
a CentOS system today and rbldnsd is no longer in the distribution. I
got the same "No package rbldnsd available." error when trying this for
CentOS 6, 7, and 8.
Running "yum -y update" - (/which I think is equivalent to running both
"apt-get update" AND "//apt-get //upgrade" on Debian?/) - didn't help.
It is simply not in the CentOS distribution anymore. I was able to
download the source code and compile it from GitHub - but that isn't a
substitute for all the things that a full Yum installation does (such as
installing dependencies and other service files, etc).
Any suggestions?

Are the EPEL repos installed on your systems?
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL</a> -- It should be there for at least
EPEL 6 and 7. I'm not sure on EPEL 8.

<p>In my script, before attempting to install rbldnsd, I FIRST run:</p>
<p>yum -y install epel-release</p>
<p>...I had forgotten why, but what you said makes sense - that
explains why I was running that command - and that mirrors the
instructions found here</p>

<p>HOWEVER - after doing that - when I run "yum list", I see MANY
packages that are labeled as a part of "epel" - but "rbldnsd" is
missing. I think for whatever reason, rbldnsd is suddenly missing
from the EPEL release? (whereas it was previously there?)</p>
<p>Thanks for looking into this! Any suggestions?<br>
