I must admit I'm a bit confused. If you trust the DNSBL results
enough to affect bayes' learning, why would you also not trust them enough
to affect the overall score?
That said, if you really want this, how about setting the scores
for each to, say, 0.1? That'll be so small it'll be unlikely to affect
the overall score significantly, but still have the tokens available for
bayes learning.
Cheers,
