In the absence of a patch to implement your special return value (which I think
needs to be outside of 127.X and should be discussed with other RBLs), I can
only recommend that you simply blackhole the requests from servers in excess of
100K that you consider abusive.

Additionally, as with Joao, I am also happy to support your project with a
public nameserver.

However, I can't support your policy that causes FPs in SA as I feel it is
unrealistic to launch an RBL and not expect this type of problem.  

As of today, DNSWL will be disabled by default in SA's rules.  SA Admins
wishing to use it, should add something like this to your local.cf:

#ENABLING DNSWL - BUG 6668
score RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE 0 -0.0001 0 -0.0001
score RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW 0 -0.7 0 -0.7
score RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED 0 -2.3 0 -2.3
score RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI 0 -5 0 -5

This disabling will be effective with the next rules update.

However, please note that we are *very* open to discussing policy changes that
will help maintain your project, it's success as a spam test and not cause FPs
so that it could be re-enabled by default.

Regards,
KAM
