If all mail being tagged doesn't get their attention quickly, I'm not sure what
will. I can't think of anything SA can do that would get attention faster.

Personally, this is also a lot better than the current situation, where merely
"lots more than normal" gets tagged. That's a lot more subtle than a 100%
cutoff. That tends to get attention rather slowly, and the problem could
persist for weeks before being detected.

Perhaps a score lower than 20 might be better, due to some folks doing
auto-delete on high scores. However, my basic point is that the rule should not
be scored negative or otherwise offset URIBL_BLACK. 

I suspect Alex believed I was suggesting a negative scoring compensation rule
to avoid the mail being tagged. That is not the case, and if it has any nonzero
score, it should be positive to make the situation more visible.

Disabling may be better, but it's not going to be easy to implement in
SpamAssassin's architecture.

Of course, patches welcome if you want to implement that solution.
