Is there a way we could get the forkserver code to look up an IP in a

incorrect thing and) just drop connections from blacklisted IP
addresses? Similar to (but not quite the same as) using rblsmtpd with
tcprules.
Isn't that what "hosts_allow" does?
Does what? Allow me to query a DNSBL before I decide whether or not to allow
the connection? Otherwise, I don't think I could store sbl-xbl in a
hosts_allow file...
