True, you have to assume a negative lookup if it doesn't show and the
"reuse" mapping indicates it was present.  I'll provide a way for people
to disable reuse for rules that they normally don't run with.

Note that even if some of those non-hits are due to downtime or timeouts
or whatever, those *should* be considered as the realtime result since
they affect accuracy.

Maybe, but that is still off in the future.  Huge delay to get that
throughout all mail.  We get 97% with names and 99% with names and
dates.
