	Hmm, this hasn't been the case in my experience.  Maybe I'm
using the wrong term?  I have my entries like:

FEATURE(`dnsbl',`sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org',`"550 error_message"')dnl

...and outgoing mail from an IP in the XBL yields the maillog entry:

Nov 28 16:50:36 servername sm-mta[81295]: ruleset=check_relay,
arg1=[ip.address], arg2=127.0.0.4, relay=[ip.address], reject=550 5.7.1
error_message

This happens on first connection to the server, there is no
authorization in the logs that I see.
