The dnsbl plugin "pipelines" the DNS queries: It sends out the queries
in the connect hook and collects the answers in the rcpt hook.

The require_resolvable_client uses either the connect or the rcpt hook
depending on whether per_recipient is active. If per_recipient is not
active, it uses the connect hook, and - if it occurs in the plugins file
before dnsbl - will save the calls out to the RBLs. If per_recipient is
active, it obviously can't prevent dnsbl from sending out any queries.
