Simplicity, and evaluation of dnsbl.

Evaluate new dnsbl first with $BLOCK2, check your mailbox after a
few weeks, whitelist those who cant afford a responsible provider,
and change the entry to $BLOCK if you feel confident about.
I dont see any reason why this feature should not be integrated
into courier.

Filtering via xfilter also has some other caveats because maildrop
cant use the return value of Spamassassin (only bounce which is
plain ugly), the message has already been accepted at that point.
Filtering via .courier-dotfiles would allow for parsing the results
of Spamassassin, but requires shell-privileges and some knowledge.
Spamassassin consequently should be integrated into perlfilter,
unless you users have a shell and wont mess up everything.

But the code copied is just part of a more complex system where
each user individually chooses wether to reject or tag suspicious
sources based on what the per-user-api (maildropfilter) returned.

Thus the final } was missed in the code ;)
