Sendmail and RBL entires.

I have configured a number of RBL entries and they are working well. I
was about to write a script to parse syslog to build a report of users
mail blocked. Kind of like a mail filter discard list.

I notice that the syslog at debug level 9 doesn't contain the FROM/TO
header info, looking at the ruleset it appears that FROM/TO is processed
after the DNS RBL checks.

So, does sendmail stop processing the ruleset at that point, when a
messages is blocked? If not what sendmail variable could be added to the
error out put?

Is it possible to re-arrange the ruleset to get the TO/FROM info?

More importantly, has anyone addressed this issue already and can provide
a solution?
