would you expect ham traffic from those IPs? and want to loose deeper

Right, although I doubt this list is going to be much use for
SpamAssassin. With zen being  so popular, I think everything that can
be caught with it will get caught at the smtp level .

well,
- some people pull mail (fetchmail, getmail, ...) from servers that
don't implement zen at smtp time.
- some people receive mail via external relays/forwarders that don't
implement zen at smtp time.
- some people add some mailing list servers to their trusted net, so
they may be in the situation above (relay/forwarder)

I use SpamHaus from SpamAssassin rather than directly from my MTA mainly because I don't want that mail to avoid the bayes auto-learning. If I ever find the service running out of cpu cycles, I might consider putting the SpamHaus checks before SpamAssassin, but until then I may as well use the resources I have available.
