RTFM?

uridnsbl checks a URI domain's nameserver against
sbl.spamhaus.org.

What this means is that the nameserver for gov.ru is listed
in SBL.

It looks like Spamhaus has listed all of Rostelecom since
it hosts send-safe.com.

Personally I don't like escalations like that, but I don't run
Spamhaus.

Fortunately URIBL_SBL usually gets a fairly low score due to
false positives like this.  I'd say keep it low.
