Just a thought. Wouldn't it be more simple, and more powerful if the
script didn't do the dns lookups it's self, but just returned a
domainlist of the domains in a message body? Then you could do stuff
like this:

# Check if one of the domains is on surbl:
deny dnslists = multi.surbl.org/${perl{extractdomains}}
      message  = $dnslist_matched is listed on $dnslist_domain with a 
value of $dnslist_value


Or:

# Check if one of the domains is hosted on an IP in China:

dnslists = cn.countries.nerd.dk/${lookup dnsdb{>:a=${perl{extractdomains}}}}

Etc.

Seems like it would be more flexible to me...
