this extension adds a new postfix jail which can be optionally dedicated enabled.

It is triggered by a log line like

Jul  1 03:55:34 xxx postfix/postscreen[188902]: DNSBL rank 6 for [192.0.2.30]:52340

It catches a lot of unwanted connections and log volume decreased a lot.

I guess it is wrong mode name for DNS-based Blackhole List, correct would be dnsbl, but much better why not combine it with rbl?

intention was to implement an optional feature, not extending/overwriting existing definitions leading to by others unexpected behavior

I'm still unsure it'd really expect a new jail.
I know there is one for RBL, but it is more for backwards compatibility reasons, however obsolete since mode rbl is included in mode normal too.
