Isn't it much better to leave the handling of IP-adresses to those specialized
in handling IP-addresses ? Eg. www.ordb.org. Don't make bogofilter a universal
do everything tool. Let it do what it is good at, no more.

How would an innocent IP-address get out of bogofilter, once the open relay
had been closed? It would sit in the spam-list forever unless the spam using
it is weeded out of the training set and retraining is done. Not very likely
to happen.
