Bad idea to do this in MailScanner.  You really don't want to use 
list.dnswl.org to skip Spam Checks as you *will* get spam these hosts 
(e.g. Hotmail and Google are listed here).

SpamAssassin already does lookups to list.dnswl.org - it's best to leave 
it to SA to assign a score instead.

Cheers,
Steve.
