One thing that I failed to explain is that the software I use DOES report the return code, but was constructed to work with SURBL without giving a lot of thought to the idea of doing different things based particular return codes. It reports the SURBL code for every "hit" in the log files, but within the programming logic, the variable that can be acted on is assigned more of a yes/no as to whether or not there was a single valid hit.
Therefore, not every SURBL has the option to do different things based on the return code. Also, it would be EASY... very easy... for an administrator who DOES have option to do different things based on return codes to not exercise these options and block ALL multi s tuff, regardless of the return code. (All administrators are not going to be SURBL gurus)
Yes, I know of programs using multi that do not differentiate what lists the hits came from or report that to the user.
Obviously including a greylist into multi in that context would be a bad idea since it would be impossible to distinguish black from grey hits.
