I hope you've provisioned a bit more bandwidth onto your various DNS
servers that are handling your whiet/blacklists. About a 2 months ago
there seemed to be some sort of confusion where you took your HIL list down,
changed it's name and then changed it to zone-xfer only. Not a lot of fun
for Spamasassin users which had it configured in by default (and others no
doubt).

Services that people are going to configure into their mail configs must
be have a high uptime and preferable not change without warning (never
change is even better).
