I was thinking that it ought to be possible to indicate how a message 
might be marked spam with SpamAssassin. So that, perhaps, it could be 
noted or somehow recognized that a given message comes from an IP on 
the SCBL. Perhaps by default it might not contribute all that much to 
the score, but if it were noted, then it might be possible for users 
wanting to utilize block lists to use that information in their own 
filters.
