Sam,

thanks.  Seems I've misunderstood how that feature works.

Is there another feature of Spamdyke
which we can use to blacklist only on reverse DNS keywords,
without having to define IP's to match?

Thus, we want to skip connecting to a mail server
so long as their rDNS resolves to something includes
one of our 'banned keywords'

Thanks.
