Postscreen requires that a remote SMTP client PASS zero or more
TESTs before it is allowed to talk to a Postfix SMTP server.

One TEST is PREGREET
One TEST is DNSBL

The result of a TEST is PASS or FAIL.

After a successful DNSBL TEST (i.e. PASS), postscreen_dnsbl_max_ttl
determines when the client must PASS the TEST again.

Postscreen does not cache FAIL results. That would be a stupid idea:
the vast majority of IP addresses should not send email directly
across the Internet, and spambots are short-lived.
