Actually I figured out how to use it to my advantage. I query "." which is my own DNS server of course as a ip4r blacklist and if the IP for verisign's site is returned then I give the spam a very high score. Any domain that doesn't exist would fail this, but any other domain would not return that IP, but rather the proper IP. I'm still pissed at Verisign, but I always try to turn a problem in to an opportunity so now I'm using their greed to block spam.
