I wonder if the right fix is to only give the DNSWL_MED score if that
host doesn't show a previous-hop relay.  But, it makes sense to give the
MED points to authenticated senders.

So after thinking about it, I think the notion of not applying the
DNSWL_MED points in the BL case makes sense.

Perhaps define a metarule for IP-based blacklist hit, and then
DNSWL_cancel metarules?
