This is for MailScanner only. The queries are being made by SpamAssassin.
You need to decide which of the two you want to do the RBL query.
MailScanner only looks up the last hop and will mark mail accordingly.
SpamAssassin looks up all hops and will add to the spam score (Which is
useful if you want to use the more agressive lists)
