Consider the relative costs of the restrictions. For example, a hash: 
table access(5) lookup will have very little cost, whereas a 
reject_rbl_client restriction incurs the delay and bandwidth of a DNS 
lookup.

Furthermore, be aware of the potential problem of 'permit' results 
allowing open relay:
