It appears that header requests with LWP can be done in about 0.10 to 0.20
seconds per resolution, on my cable connection anyway.  Which while certainly is
a long time, wouldn't be too bad on lower volume systems, if limited by the
total number of lookups done per message (to avoid DoS).

Does the URIDNSBL code run in parallel with anything else, or is it blocking?

The downside is that it requires another dependency, LWP.  Although it would be
optional, as would turning on redirection resolution.

To limit the processing hit, though, you could probably score the message based
on the number of recursive redirects.  I don't think any sensible user is going
to redirect things more than twice, and probably not more than once in most 
cases.

Scoring the number of redirection recursions would likely have the effect of
spammers avoiding the use of recursive redirections, thus saving us on the
processing time.

Obviously you'd have to stop resolution recursions as soon as you don't
recognize the redirector, though, since doing otherwise could register tracking
bugs with a spammer controlled redirector.
