This error occurs after the upgrade and reload of pfB. I've tried to trim out various settings but I've been unable to narrow down the cause.

Thanks. I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. Before I reloaded pfB, I cleared the log, but the errors came back.

I think I've narrowed down the issue. I've cleared out my 'DNSBL Whitelist' completely, before reloading, and that seemed to work. (clue was obvious in the error ;). Now I just have to figure out which of many entries in my whitelist that is causing the issue...

With an editor like Notepad++ you could fine it easily.
