Since SA only uses DNSBLs for scoring, it can be used with DNSBLs 
one wouldn't trust enough for blocking in the MTA.
And, SA can use DNSWLs for negative scoring.

The relay and return path information can also be used for more 
than DNSLs. SPF and DKIM checks for example requires relay 
information, as does whitelist_from_rcvd.
