This is very much false for public blacklists. Perhaps that should not
be configurable. Also perhaps silent skipping of whitelists should not
be configurable. Protecting the user from shooting themselves in the
foot may well be appropriate here. In any case the "defer on failure"
approach is not correct for (public) blacklist lookups, it may be
appropriate if the blacklists are internally maintained.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
