Though CDB/DBM lookups only work with individual e-mail addresses, not
wildcards like rcpthosts contains.

This sounds similar to the `from-program' source that I suggested awhile
back (http://mla.libertine.org/tmda-workers/200205/msg00024.html).

Well, I like hearing those ideas.  Much of what's in TMDA comes from
other's suggestions; things I didn't/couldn't think of myself.  This
is exactly why TMDA is opensource.

Let's hope so.  My only regret is that I don't have more free time to
work on all the these great ideas.
