Sorry for this monumentally stupid-sounding question, but how do you tell
if the dnsbl feature is *working* or not?  I've got 2 set in my local .mc
files:

FEATURE(dnsbl, `bl.spamcop.net', `"550 Mail from " $&{client_addr} " rejected, see http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml?" $&{client_addr}')
FEATURE(dnsbl,`combined.njabl.org',`Message from $&{client_addr} rejected - see http://njabl.org/lookup?$&{client_addr}')

(and yes, I did 'make cf install' afterwards), but I don't see any
indication of mail being rejected because of these in my maillog.  I do
see mail being rejected because of settings in /etc/mail/access.db.  Do
these work silently, or are they not working at all?
