Right, too many false positives here as well.

Indeed. Also coupling it with p0f (passive operating system fingerprinting)
matching on non-unix hosts seems to bring up the best of both approaches:

meta  BOTNET_W    !DKIM_VERIFIED && !DK_VERIFIED && (L_P0F_WXP ||
  L_P0F_W || L_P0F_UNKN) && (BOTNET_CLIENT+BOTNET_BADDNS+BOTNET_NORDNS) > 0
score BOTNET_W    3.2

meta  BOTNET_OTHER  !BOTNET_W &&
  (BOTNET_CLIENT+BOTNET_BADDNS+BOTNET_NORDNS) > 0
score BOTNET_OTHER  0.5
