The ruleset bundled with the spamassassin packages in stable contains a
reference to a DNS blacklist that is no longer in operation and is
answering "yes" to all queries. This has the effect of elevating a
message's spam score and increasing the risk of false positives.
Debdiff for the removal of this blacklist is attached, and I'd like to
upload this change to stable in 3.3.2-5+deb7u3
See background in
