True - but the SMTP log doesn't indicate which maps list was used to block 
the IP. Since I'm just starting to experiment with maps blocking, I want to 
see who's blocking what, so I can get an idea of relative effectiveness. 
So, rather than writing a utility to read the SMTP log and testing each IP 
address against the maps servers from there, it was easier to just write an 
additional log from within XMail to display the information.....
