For reference, here's my running config:

urirhssub       URIBL_BLACK  multi.uribl.com.        A   2
body            URIBL_BLACK  eval:check_uridnsbl('URIBL_BLACK')
describe        URIBL_BLACK  Contains an URL listed in the URIBL blacklist
tflags          URIBL_BLACK  net
score           URIBL_BLACK  1.5

urirhssub       URIBL_GREY  multi.uribl.com.        A   4
body            URIBL_GREY  eval:check_uridnsbl('URIBL_GREY')
describe        URIBL_GREY  Contains an URL listed in the URIBL greylist
tflags          URIBL_GREY  net
score           URIBL_GREY  0.1


#adjustment to SURBL lists to control FPs with double-hits
meta URIBL_BLACK_OVERLAP (URIBL_BLACK && (URIBL_AB_SURBL || URIBL_JP_SURBL ||
URIBL_OB_SURBL || URIBL_WS_SURBL || URIBL_SC_SURBL))
score URIBL_BLACK_OVERLAP -1.0

------------


Reasons:

I've scored URIBL_BLACK at 1.5 due to it having the worst S/O of any URIBL other
than PH and GREY. (0.993 in the mass-check Theo posted)

I've scored GREY at 0.1 as an informational rule. It's S/O is so poor it is more
qualified to be a nonspam rule. ( 0.354 in the nightly mass-check Theo posted)

I've added the overlap deduction because the scores of all the other URIBL's
hosted by surbl.org are already balanced and tuned for accuracy without
URIBL_BLACK. Adding more rules offsets that balance, and this tries to 
compensate.

The net effect of my configuration causes URIBL_BLACK to score 1.5 when it fires
alone, but drops it back to 0.5 when other SURBL lists fire.
