Order of spam delivery check changed?

[Pete]

Isnt this something you could do at the MTA, to truely blacklist? In
postfix, like adding someone at domian REJECT, then the they are actually
blocked from even sending you mail, rather than accepting it for
delivery, doing tests on it, and getting rid of it  ?
