Correct, all it does is shift the RBL checks until after the
authentication. It does take a few extra CPU cycles before it blocks a
spammer (although none extra that I have noticed) and it means you may
get a few extra dictionary attackers but if you have protection from
that it's what you need to do to let travelling users authenticate.

The greet_pause is disabled by the "dnl" at the beginning. I believe I
had manually turned that on before then having to turn it off for this
change.
