  If refusal to accept email at your postmaster/abuse accounts from a network
you've blacklisted is a requirement, then every DNSBL using admin is probably
going to be in trouble.  Is it even possible to accept postmaster email in
spite of the sending system having landed in DNSBL that your server uses?  I
thought the DNSBL lookup occurred before the access file was referenced in
sendmail.
