Botnet "as is" is way dangerous for an ISP, but for personal defence it works 
fine. I have it at 4.0 and have got no false positives because of it.

All it takes is a Unix/Linux user who does not know about smart hosts to get 
tagged as an FP... but I do not now such.

If some of my friends got tagged because of that, I would tell him about the 
dangers about having an own mail server w/o a smarthost... and then whitelist 
him.

But so far, no false positives. Botnet gets lots of spam and no false positives.

But then again, if I were an ISP I would set the score to .1 or something.
