>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: SMTPServer
>            Reporter: ouvtam

> At the moment the DNSRBL handler 
> (org.apache.james.protocols.smtp.core.fastfail.DNSRBLHandler) is implemented 
> as a RcptHook. Thus, for every RCPT TO call this handler will be called and a 
> blocklist lookup will be issued.
> One can argue It makes sense to implement the handler as a ConnectHandler, so 
> the blocklist check is done as early as possible. However, if SMTP AUTH is 
> successful then we should allow the connecting client anyway.
> Therefore it makes sense to implement the DNSRBL handler at MAIL FROM stage 
> that is MailHook. One exception is the following. According to [RFC 
> 4954|https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4954#section-5], authentication 
> information can optionally provided as ESMTP AUTH parameter with a _single_ 
> value in the '{{{}MAIL FROM:{}}}' command.
