If you want to completely stop all delivery of messages from maps-rbl+
hosts, then do it in sendmail. From there, the only thing you can do is
either deliver it ditch it.

If you want to deliver it but have it {SPAM?}-tagged as well, then you will
have to do that within MailScanner.

It's not your MTA that is adding the {SPAM?} tags, it's MailScanner.
