I am not sure what you are looking for, but if you mean one that gives
the link for the lookup, here is how my mc entries are set up:

Dsbl.org: 

FEATURE(`dnsbl', `list.dsbl.org', `"Open relay blocked see:
http://dsbl.org/listing?ip="$&{client_addr}  See
http://nospam.mysite.com/')dnl

Spamhaus:

FEATURE(`dnsbl', `sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org', `"Refused, Sender on Spamhaus
Combined Block List see:
http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip="$&{client_addr}  See
http://nospam.mysite.com/')dnl

The specific query line is something that I need to reconstruct on my
own by running a check with the relevant service. For example, Spamcop
would be

http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblock&ip=$&{client_addr}";

The reference to http://nospam.mysite.com just goes to a page I have
set up which states our spam policy and also has a form to request
whitelisting or to get the mail through. No one has EVER sent me mail
that way - but if a legit user was blocked, that would give them their
recourse.

(If you were asking for something more complicated than this -- sorry.
As noted, I'm not sure I understand the question)
