[courier-users] BLOCK2 from within pythonfilter

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

People,

I've configured Courier to use the dnsbl.sorbs.net blacklist which I know my computer's dynamically
assigned ip is in, but using BLOCK2.

Why? because I'm writing a pythonfilter. The problem is that neither using os.getenv or os.environ
the BLOCK2 env var (which i know should be set, because dnsbl.sorbs.net IS blocking my IP).

Probably the env var is not available to courierfilters, or pythonfilter is not forwarding it to my
environment, I don't know, but the Courier docs for esmtpd.BLACKLIST state that:

# The BLOCK environment variable is automatically enforced by submit.
# Nobody really does anything about BLOCK2, this is mainly for use by
# plug-in mail filters. If you want Courier to unilaterally block
# mail from IP addresses listed on the RBL and RSS, and you have a separate
# filter that keys off BLOCK2, uncomment the following.

And this is my setting:

BLACKLISTS="-block=dnsbl.sorbs.net,BLOCK2"

My IP, as you can tell from my message headers, is: 200.89.180.209

Confirmation that it IS blacklisted:
~ $ host -t a 209.180.89.200.dnsbl.sorbs.net
209.180.89.200.dnsbl.sorbs.net has address 127.0.0.10

Am I wrong to believe that BLOCK2 should be accesible within my pythonfilter?
