Blacklist entry question

[Stephe Campbell]

I find that the blacklist (spam.blacklist.rules) is one of the most
effective solutions for efficiency using MailScanner. I have two small
questions about the blacklist and its entries.

Since I don't get any SA scores from blacklisted entries, can I assume that
this (blacklisting) is one of the first things  performed by MS, and that by
using it, it eliminates email faster.

I get mail from xxx1.yyy, xxx2.yyy and xxx3.yyy. I want to blacklist it. Do
I need to add 3 entries, or can I use something like xxx[1-3].yyy?

Thanks so much for this beautiful piece of software and any time anyone can
supply to this question.
