Why not just reference the external file?

lookuphost:
  driver = dnslookup
  qualify_single = false
  domains = ! +local_domains
  ignore_target_hosts = 127.0.0.0/8 : CONFIG_DIR/bogon-bn-agg.txt \
                         : CONFIG_DIR/ignore_spammers
  transport = remote_smtp

see footnote[1]

Then we have a little script, which we run from time to time,

#!/bin/sh

# wget http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-bn-agg.txt
BOGONS=bogon-bn-agg.txt

cp -p ${BOGONS} ${BOGONS}.old

wget -N http://www.cymru.com/Documents/${BOGONS} && diff ${BOGONS} \
${BOGONS}.old | more



[1]But thereby hangs a tale. (that file called ignore_spammers).

Maybe that calls for a separate thread.
