There is another generic benefit: It might be the only alternative to
access ZEN when spamhaus.org's cut-off [2] is in effect. The cut-off
doesn't need to be ones own fault but might have happened before one
acquired the affected IP address.

No, that is why I wrote "generic". I learned about the existence of DQS
from mail correspondence with spamhaustech, after I tried and failed to
obtain information at the spamhaus.org website of how to lift the
cut-off. So maybe the guys could advertise DQS more, in general.
