Simple!

    drop    message = your mail server $sender_host_address is in a \
            blacklist at $dnslist_domain ($dnslist_text)
        dnslists =  relays.ordb.org :  bl.spamcop.net
        condition = ${run{somecommand $sender_host_address}{yes}{yes}


Remember, order counts!!! It will check dnslists then the condition but
only if dnslists was true!

I do this myself to blacklist people who attempt to relay via my server.

Exactly. It's not because it does not make sense.
