Yes. Suppose that one DNSBL starts to send replies with twice as
many IP addresses after they change to finer-grained lists. I don't
want them to get twice the weight just because they present the
same information in a different manner.
For me, a spambot on a compromised system (XBL) on a network not
listed in PBL is no better or worse than a spambot on compromised
system (XBL) on a residential network that is listed in PBL.

If you want to count each response, then you can configure an
explicit filter for each response.
