of the spam runs, most of these domains are now in 4 or 5 SURBL
lists, which will give you scores of close to 12 alone.

Greylisting would help here. If you greylist an unknown source long enough, and it gets into SURBL during the delay, you'll get the SURBL score boost when (if) the retry is attempted.

Alas, commercial recipients can't use greylisting as effectively because they expect to accept legitimate mail from a lot more unknown senders.

And greylisting during a disaster like Katrina could block mail from friends using unusual modes of sending (like an Internet cafe terminal).
