Actually, that's not what "unconfirmed" means. "Unconfirmed" simply
means that someone who isn't 'trusted' caused the listing to occur.
One shouldn't be rejecting based on entries in "unconfirmed" (just in

Yep, that's the definition of "multi-hop". You choose whether or not
that is valid criteria for rejecting mail.

No. Only if they choose to. They _could_ be checking an "inputs" RBL
and denying them the ability to abuse the swbell system like that.

Spamassassin is much more effective than that.
