Mine is set to 5000.  I am just scripting something against the
mailwatch database to reduce the time for "good" mail servers.

I use SpamCop and DSBL.  Because of SC's bounce policy I have both of
these set to temp fail rather than reject.  Any owner of a "good" server
will sort the issue out and I therefore reduce the risk of false
positives - albeit with a delay.
