I'm now confused, because I've forgotten the special meaning of
"domain-based blacklists". However, on having a quick look at the web
page, I think what I was thinking about was using the dnsdb lookup to
set up a verification failure using a "condition" on a router. 46.1 is
not relevant, because that is dealing with IP-address-based black lists.
It's certainly all a mess, and I now seem to remember refusing to give a
proper prescription because of this.
Exim 4 will be here soon! Then you will be able to configure the dnsdb
lookup into an ACL.
