I checked this, of the 120 bugs with messages listed that hit the DSBL
check, only one was spam.

Blitzed has the problems of being tiny and specialized. I was set up
for use by IRC servers, so doesn't include things like open relays.
If it doesn't catch a significant portion of the spam, it wouldn't be
worth doing.
I wouldn't want to use it for blocking mail without doing a similar
check. Adding another remote DNS query for is what we want to avoid
at the moment.
With the disabled checks, spamscan seems to be just barly keeping up.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
