It looks like you have a bad feed in pfBlocker that has some data missing.

Try reloading in pfBlocker and see if any additional errors are there.

Thnx Stephen!

I did reload pfBlocker and everything looks good. How can i find out that this is actually the case?

If it's not showing again when you're reloading it was probably some temporarily corrupt feed or download. That function is only called when loading domains into DNS-BL.

Thnx for your help!

Merry Christmas!
