Default values

$wgDnsBlacklistUrls = [];

This change was backported to MediaWiki 1.39.12, 1.42.5, and 1.43.1.

$wgDnsBlacklistUrls = [
	'http.dnsbl.sorbs.net.',
];

Changes in MediaWiki 1.19 and later

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 = [
	// String containing an URL:
    'bl.spamcop.net.',
	// Array with URL and key, for services that require a key:
    [ 'b.barracudacentral.org.', 'mykey' ],
	// Array with a string containing an URL. Recommended: use a string containing an URL instead (see above).
    [ 'psbl.surriel.com.' ]
];

or

$wgDnsBlacklistUrls = [
    'bl.spamcop.net.',
    'psbl.surriel.com.'
];
