one day every RBL goes away, and how it does this isn't predictable. i
remember at least one RBL, which started to respond for every request with
'Spamrelay' to get rid of the users. That day (weeks) some people
didn'T get any spam. (they also didn't get any mails at all.) So this
is definitly no option for us.

This bug is about someone who is one of the unlucky 0.001% that we
have as false positives.

How much money do you want to bet on CBL that they never generate
false positives or switching to an insane policy?

Maybe using CBL as another score in SpamAssassin is an option, but
again: it isn'T an option to give the main communication of Debian
into the hand of non-Debian parties.
