Doesn't using DynaStop involve calling an external executable using
${run} which reads several flat files and uses up IPC shared memory in
order to obtain relatively stale results?
In what regard does DynaStop provide any advantage over using a plain
dnsbl? The guy is trying to reduce the time exim processes run, not
increase them...
