To clarify, the DNSWL policy of returning positive answers to gain the attention of administrators with SA installations sending DNS queries to DNSWL through over-quota IPs causes misfiring on the DNSWL Rules. It's a FP on the Rule regardless of the negative or positive score the rule applies. The scoring effect (FP/FN or even a neutral) on the status of the email is another discussion. However, I agree, that a FP on a negative scoring rule is likely to cause a FN on an email that is spam. Blackhole the requests instead or add more public NS to protect the infrascture. And in case you missed it, two well-experienced RBL infrastructures (including myself) have offered to help with more public nameservers.
