Yeah, that mostly sums up my feelings. The current RBL information tells
us when a positive lookup occurs, but not when a negative lookup occurs.
I'd really like to have RBL record all queries made and the results
thereof, then all the issues above go away -- name changes and logic
changes just look at the cached result, rule additions w/out cached
result cause lookups at run-time as they are now.
