The returns are:

    DNS_SUCCEED   successful lookup (i.e. the address is blocked)
    DNS_NOMATCH   name not found, or no data found for the given type
    DNS_AGAIN     soft failure, try again later
    DNS_FAIL      DNS failure


Clearly I could make it log the last two it you want. But do you want
your logs filling up with warning messages when some part of the
Internet goes offline for a while?

Noted for Exim 4.
