DNSBL with mail proxy

Hello,

I started using nginx as a proxy for incoming mail, for DDoS protection
and hiding of origin.

I have it set up as follows:

mail {
server_name foo.bar.com;
auth_http localhost:8080/auth-smtppass.php;

server {
listen 25;
protocol smtp;
proxy on;
timeout 5s;
xclient off;
smtp_auth none;
}
}

And then I have a location handler that tells it where to actually go:

location ~ .php$ {
add_header Auth-Server 111.222.111.222;
add_header Auth-Port 25;
return 200;
}

This works great, except that the real mail server (111.222.111.222 in
this example) doesn't see where the mail is actually coming from, and
therefore loses its ability to apply the DNSBL.

One obvious way to use the DNSBL would be to have an actual auth script
that does the DNSBL checking. However, it's really nice to have it all
handled without calling out to php or perl.

I could also have a local postfix that does nothing but DNSBL and relay
to the real server, but that seems like just another layer of complication.

Anyone have any creative ideas on how this could be implemented right in
nginx? Maybe someone's written an auth script that does DNSBL?

Thanks,
--Pat
