The abuse codes are in 
http://uribl.com/about.shtml#abuse

SA uses the URIBL_BLOCKED rule to notify you are abusing the free query quota

The quota applied by URIBL works for most small/medium sites.

Read http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/DnsBlocklists#dnsbl-block:

Q: My queries to a DNS-blocklist were blocked. What does this mean?

A: DNS-Blocklists often run on the "free for some" model and/or they may limit
the number of queries you can perform to maximize resources.

If you were directed to this link from a rule description, then you have a
DNS-Blocklist that is purposefully blocking your queries.

Resolving the block might be as simple as using your own non-forwarding caching
nameserver to avoid being lumped together with other users queries; setting up
your own mirror of the DNS-blocklist; or paying to use the blocklist. The
choice is up to the DNS-Blocklist administrator.

SpamAssassin supports the "free for some" model since it works for the majority
of SpamAssassin installations. However, we do not support methodologies that
purposefully return wrong answers and those DNS-Blocklists will be disabled by
default. 

For further discussion, pls move this to the SA user's list
