Why oh why would you ever want to do that?
If you've asked the mailer to check a blacklist, but the blacklist is
temporarily unavailable, you don't want to allow any messages through
until the blacklist becomes available again!
I.e. if you don't want temporary rejects to happen when a DNS BL is
temporarily unavailable then don't configure that DNS BL (or any other
less than 100% reliable DNS BL)!
