Yeah, -notfirsthop is good for lists that list known zombies, open

-lastexternal to avoid FPs (I know of lots of businesses that are forced
to smarthost their mail through Bell's MSAs due to SORBS listings of
static connections because of Bell's crappy rDNS naming scheme).
Is there an SA function that will just return an array of Relays that
fit a given one of these criteria? Such as:
@relays = get_relays(options);
where options is a comma delimited string of words like:
Trusted - include a given relay if it is trusted
Untrusted - include a relay if it is untrusted
External - include a relay if it is external
Internal - include a relay if it is internal
LastExternal - do NOT include the relay if it is NOT the
most recent external relay
NotFirstHop - do NOT include the relay if there are multiple
relays and this one was the least recent relay
and the returned relay array meets the specified criteria, and contains
the same data about the relays that are in the pseudo-headers?
An SA function, particularly a PerMsgStatus method, that did something
like this would be VERY useful.
So, if I'm writing a plugin, and I want to get the last external relay,
I can just do:
$relay = shift($pms->get_relays("LastExternal"));
or if I wanted to say "don't do this stuff if there were trusted relays":
unless ($pms->get_relays("Trusted")) {
#do stuff
}
