Hi,

since I installed spamdyke my logs are inundated with messages like this
one:

DENIED_RHSBL_MATCH from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] origin_ip: 
85.179.173.120 origin_rdns: e179173120.adsl.alicedsl.de auth: (unknown)

The recipient address is bogus and my (patched) qmail-smtpd would reject it
permanently. Apparently, since it matches a RHSBL, spamdyke rejects the
message temporarily, and the same client keeps trying for a while, always
costing me some resources.

I think this is wasteful; it would be better to only do the RHSBL lookup
after the backend qmail-smtpd accepted the recipient address. If the
backend qmail-smtpd throws a permanent rejection, spamdyke could just pass
it on to the client.
