I would like some feedback concerning a use case

Description

I am finding that some mails are marked as spam despite being legitimate.
The SA tags present in the mail headers are:

URIBL_DBL_SPAM
URIBL_BLOCKED

Searching a bit on the net, SA seems to recommend running your own local, caching, resolving (not forwarding) DNS.
Here they talk about it:

https://users.spamassassin.apache.narkive.com/k2QOaYoV/why-do-i-get-both-uribl-dbl-spam-and-uribl-blocked

I looked for the dns_available directive inside this repo, but i didn't find anything, so i assume it's not supported yet.

I wanted to know if anyone has already addressed this issue, or if they have advice on how to implement it.
