You can do that (although my IP-based lists go right into
/etc/mail/aliases and sendmail blocks them before SA sees anything),
but I was thinking more along the lines of having another SpamAssassin
rule that looked the sender's IP and domain up in the rfc-ignorant.org
lists.  It would also cut down on the number of DNS lookups SA has to
perform for the other DNSBL checks.  I think it currentlly checks every
IP in all Received: headers.
