You haven't missed anything, it was just not put in. I think you would 
actually waste more time on the serial lookups of the messages "not" in the 
lists then you would save. DNS lookups don't add that much to the load. 
Spamassassin is the real system hog, and you can already stop spamassassin if 
a message hits the lists first.
