That uproar was because that blacklist (spam eating monkey) was automatically
detecting "abuse" and causing many false positives.  (bug 6220)

An interesting suggestion.

And an excellent question.  

What do you folks think about polling the users list about adding a new DNSBL
to existing 3.3 releases?  Should I just post, asking?

What's the worst that will happen if these rules are enabled for existing 3.3.*
releases?  João, can you confirm that mailspike will not cause false positives
as a result of detecting high amounts of traffic?  So worst case, people get no
DNS response, and the score is not affected?  Also, worst case, we revert the
addition a day later.  

(All, of course, depending on getting rule updates happening again, bug 6702.)
