When was the last time Microsoft got listed in surbl ?
Smaller lists might end up being sent from a false positive domain and the idea is that surbl test pattern (queries/minutes, burst/continuous, historical comparisons, geolocation and perhaps other metrics) should allow to differentiate between such a list and a spam run.
Spammers could add some fake URIs like yahoo.com, gmail.com, microsoft.com to their spam runs so that their mails get a hammy score(if surbl gives a negative score using some whitelisted URIs).
We don't use any negative scores anywhere. Our internal whitelist is only used to exclude domains from blacklisting.
