For us, the only FP we have seen are some servers in Argentina, Brazil and 2 legit fish newsletters from Russia. Otherwise it is looking very good here.
We've been testing it using SpamAssassin with the lastexternal option, and while it catches a whole lot of obvious junk, the logs also show it tripping on a number of messages that look like they might be legitimate newsletters. A couple of stores that I recognize, a nearby church, a fan club for a well-known movie series, one of our state senators, and a political organization.
None of these ended up being marked as spam, but they did trip on the rule, and would have been blocked if I'd been using BRBL at the sendmail level.
I still need to verify that they sources are what they appear to be, then do some research on their mailing practices and ask the recipients whether they actually signed up for the mailings, but at the moment it looks like the list is something I can use as a data point through SpamAssassin, but can't use to block mail outright.
