Well spotted.. I read it too quickly..

Using the rbl_hosts option is good if the host is listed on rbl and you
view it as non-hostile. Another case is where you really NEED to get mail
from the host (e.g. Network Solutions domain notify messages) whose mail
servers have found themselves (quite rightly probably) to such lists.
