Yes except that it could be just !dnslists = dnswl.junkemailfilter.com
because if it is on my white/yellow list means that the host sends some
ham. I think in the long run it's the white lists that are going to be
more accurate than the black lists and it will be a tool for identifying
bob-spam and avoiding false positives.
