you are forwarding to some other nameserver and you are not the only one

But the nameserver I’m forwarding to is in our university.

/etc/resolv.dnsmasq
search subdomain.ourschool.edu ourschool.edu
nameserver 150.108.x.yy
nameserver 150.108.y.xx

seriously - what do you think happens?
you and everybody else on planet earth using 150.xx.xx.xx are coming with the 
same IP to the DNSBL/URIBL hosts

Isn’t the point of enabling dnsmasq to cache DNS calls? I’m just following the instructions at https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CachingNameserver#Installing_dnsmasq_as_a_Caching_Nameserver which BTW has a broken link to instructions.

I think this part of the wiki page may not be stressed stongly enough:



Non-forwarding

If you have a large ISP or are using large public DNS provider(s) it is recommended you not forward mail-related DNS traffic through their DNS servers (though non-mail DNS traffic from your site shouldn't have problems.) With bind, this means not having any "forwarders" listed. Or, at a minimum, you could create exemptions by defining empty forwarders for DNSBL zones, like this:

/* Disable forwarding for DNSBL queries */
zone "multi.uribl.com" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; };
zone "dnsbl.sorbs.net" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; };
zone "combined.njabl.org" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; };
zone "activationcode.r.mail-abuse.com" { type forward; forward first; 
forwarders {}; };
zone "nonconfirm.mail-abuse.com" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; 
};
zone "iadb.isipp.com" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; };
zone "bl.spamcop.net" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; };
zone "fulldom.rfc-ignorant.org" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; };
zone "list.dnswl.org" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; };
zone "blackholes.mail-abuse.org" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; 
};
zone "bl.score.senderscore.com" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; };
zone "zen.spamhaus.org" { type forward; forward first; forwarders {}; };
