Host/domain lists are completely generic things; you can set up any list
you like, and then use that as a condition in ACLs/routers etc.

Quick example off the top of my head:
# Host list of 'known good' hosts
hostlist colins_friends = x.y.z.a : a.s.d.f
# Example check against DNSBLs, skipping hosts in colins_friends
# You can do a similar thing with other ACL rules
deny message = Spammers suck
dnslists = blah : foo
hosts = !+colins_friends

Don't take this the wrong way, but do we really have to have 10 lines of
