Yes, what that *MEANS* is that:

FEATURE(`dnsbl',`output.orbs.org')dnl   willl query that ORBS serer
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`rbl.maps.vix.com')dns  will query that MAPS server explicitly
FEATURE(`dnsbl')dnl                     and this one will too, by default

If you *MANUALLY TYPE IN* "FEATURE(`dnsbl')", it will supply a server
name if you don't give one.

Now give it a rest, Mitch.
