It seems to me that the default score of from 1.2 to 1.9,

should be significantly higher, perhaps nearly the default
required score of 5.0
Some information is at http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org,
including the fact that
86% of URIBL_JP_SURBL hits also hit URIBL_OB_SURBL
66% of URIBL_JP_SURBL hits also hit URIBL_WS_SURBL
56% of URIBL_JP_SURBL hits also hit URIBL_AB_SURBL
The default scores are assigned by analysis of the combinations of rule
hits. See http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/HowScoresAreAssigned and the
discussion of the Perceptron.
Assigning any given single rule a poison-pill score (or nearly so)
is generally a bad idea.
