I'm new to this list, though I've been using spamassassin for some
months now with excellent results.

I'm not at all convinced though that multihop blacklists should be
enabled in spamassassin by default, since such listings generally just
indicate that an ISP has a customer with an open relay.  Scoring all
messages through such as ISP just because of misconfiguration on
behalf of one of their customers is I suspect too agressive for most
users; all large ISPs will inevitably have at least one incompetent
customer from time to time.

As a side note, I have a suspicion that being listed in the multihop
DSBL list automatically results in a listing in the DSBL unconfirmed
list, too.  This means a combined penalty of 1.58 from the DSBL for
all messages through an ISP with a rogue customer, regardless of
whether or not the ISP takes a responsible attitude to addressing such
issues in a timely manner.
