[Mimedefang] contrib: relay_is_blacklisted_with_timeout

[Anthony Caetano]

				Thanks for the pointer, I will look into the
package.  If I can get it to work I will submit an alternative.  I notice on
the cpan docs that under bugs is listed:
				Net::DNS is slow. 

				Anyways I will try get my head around it and
test it.  

				Regards
				Anthony

				I'm leery of anything that requires signal
handling, especially
				SIGALRM.

				I believe the Perl module Net::DNS has
functions for doing timed-out DNS
				lookups using select(), and I'd be happier
with those.
