I want to run the IP addresses from the Received: lines in a message header
through something like rblsmtpd to block spam that was relayed to me. So I
got all ready to set up my system-wide filters when I realised that DJB
didn't split rblsmtpd up into smaller pieces (joke) ... so I wondered if
anyone else thought it would be beneficial to have one program that did the
lookups against the RBL, etc., and have rblsmtpd run it to do those lookups,
as well as other programs that wanted to.
Instead of: Connection -> rblsmtpd (do lookup) -> send back brief SMTP
message.
Have: Connection -> rblsmtpd -> send back brief SMTP message.

rblcheck(?) (do lookup)
This way, other filters could call rblcheck (better name?) as well. Just
wondering if I've missed the boat on why this would be a bad idea, or if it
just hasn't been done yet.
Sample headers ...
