You are trading off a file lookup against running a load of script code.
Whats more if you reject it in sender_reject stuff the message *never*
comes into your system, which is a far bigger saving than anything else.
Keep spam on the outside where possible - letting it in then rejecting it
costs you resources.
[and why not use dbm lookups - all of my stuff is based on a
@@partial0-dbm;.. lookup.]
