Currently, dnslists quits checking as soon as it finds a positive
hit on any of the lists (tried in order). This is a _good_ thing
since it reduces the number of overall lookups.

Yes, that would be the correct way to do this.

I don't understand what you mean here. What delay are you talking about?

How does testing on multiple "dnslist" verbs cause any more delay
than if Exim were testing multiple entries on a single dnslist verb?
