   It would have the limited use of IDing specific domains that
get repeatedly "spamvertised" to the point where we (1) notice
them and (2) the spams don't score enough through the other
heuristics.  Both of these are getting common enough now that
I (at least) feel that some very fast mechanism is warranted
to catch them.

   Putting the list of domain names in a DB file has the important
side-effect of being dynamically-updatable and probably a bit more
memory-friendly than keeping thhe whole hash-table in core.  If a
restart were required for each domain addition the performance
would truly suffer in a spamc/spamd environment.

   Cheers.
