1. If WHOIS contact address is correct/reachable, hosts get warned befoe they
get blocked.

2. Inexperienced SA users will hardly hit URIBL.com public mirror
infrastructure with hundreds of thousands/millions of queries/day, and get
blocked without a warning.

3. You could have used some other NS for your queries.

4. You obviously didn't test your system thoroughly before going live,
otherwise this would have jumped out real fast.

Matt's solution suggestion breaks the URIBL.com's intention of warning the
admin that he's abusing the mirrors, even AFTER being contacted and the query
hammering would continue.

If this would happen very widescale, it would result in URIBL.com's public
mirrors get taken down and become a pay-per-use service only, harldy in
interest of the wider user base.
