Hmm, maybe I am reading this wrongly (exim 4.67), but isn't
verify.c:2798 if (dns_basic_lookup(&dnsa, query, T_TXT) == DNS_SUCCEED)
only executed if the DNS request for the dnsbl succeeded:
verify.c:2672 if (cb->rc == DNS_SUCCEED)
?

I read that, but as far as I can see, this only allows one to specify
what TXT record lookup will done, it doesn't say anything about
preventing
this lookup altogether...
