blocking criteria were?

These things are all outside the scope of this document, because they
pertain to how DNSBLs should be used, not how they should be operated.

(They're also not good ideas.  In the former case, backscatter/outscatter
spam will result.  In the latter case, presenting users with a list of
hundreds of messages per day serves no useful purpose.)
