Mailscanner RBL checks

[Vlad Mazek]

Thing is, skip_rbl_checks =1 would skip them all, I just want to restrict
which ones are being queried.

Here are the queries that are launched by MailScanner:
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_RED lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_GREY lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_SECUREWHOIS lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_MYPRIVREG lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_NETSOLPR lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_AITPRIV lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_SC_SURBL lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_AB_SURBL lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_CONTACTPRIV lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_NAMEKING lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_PRIVPROT lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_WHOISGUARD lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_PH_SURBL lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_BLACK lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_PRIVACYPOST lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_RHS_DOB lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_JP_SURBL lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_WS_SURBL lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_OB_SURBL lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_DMNBYPROXY lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_REGISTERFLY lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_UNLISTED lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: WHOIS_MONIKER_PRIV lookup start
[2351] dbg: dns: URIBL_SBL lookup start

How do I find out which rule/definition is causing all these lookups to
launch?
