This ticket is digressing into a mud slinging match. The issue of using public
vs. commercial lists is irrelevant here. The issue is how uribl.com current
query limit policies (blacklist, drop, always positive, nose pick, etc.) can
effect SA users negatively should they ever exceed them. As they stand now, if
a host makes excessive queries and uribl.com on some internal no-service list,
then all the host queries return "always positive" results that score
excessively high against a scale of 5, which in turn can cause mail to be
pushed over the threshold that much more easily. 

SA should consider one or more of the following actions:

a) reconsider making URIBL_* rules default on, by making them default off,
allowing capable users the choice to use them and their potential future
fallout.

b) add code to somehow detect the "no-service" situation and subsequently
discontinue querying uribl.com

c) give a much lower score to URIBL_* rules.
