Basicly the description "Contains an URL listed in the SBL blocklist
[URIs: example.com]" is false, since the domain or any of the ip
addresses linked directly to it aren't listed.

Maybe it would be nice have a split between 'direct' hits (A/AAAA record
of hostname) and 'secondaries' (ip addresses extracted from DNS
'metadata' such as MX or NS records), so the rule description can be
more informative.

First time when I ran into this, we spent quite some time on finding
which ip was actually listed, and what relation it had to the customer
domain.

Totally agree.
