The only time an IP gets added in a "hair-trigger" fashion is when spam hits one of its hidden spamtraps. Otherwise you are right in that the users can (briefly) abuse the system, but even then it's hard to do. I think the reputation of over-zealousness is unwarranted, but that's just my opinion. My experience is that only the the most onerous and prolific spammers routinely hit more than one list. I have tried using more lists and setting MAXHITS higher and am not happy with the results on my servers that have little in the way of commercial-type incoming email. Now on my LISTSERV machine that runs multiple lists, I have a real problem if I don't up the MAXHITS. The number of legitimate mail that would be blocked because of the way that large providers manage to get blocked for various reasons would be a real issue.
