nopublish rules for online updates that involve network traffic are
particularly bad.  The current UPDATE version 912513 contains 22 nopublish
rules, 14 of which are net rules -- including new DNSBLs like
T_RCVD_IN_NIX_SPAM that result in additional DNS traffic.  Perhaps the
recommendation should be for sa-update to be disabled until this bug is fixed.

As a large site, we keep external DNS traffic to an absolute minimum and rely
on DNSBLs that are served up locally via rbldnsd to keep reasonable scantimes
and not flood unsuspecting DNSBLs.
