Since it's only a sample put out by njabl.org the "penalty" used by the mail servers you are dealing could be all over the map. Most likely, though, it will only add a fraction of the overall spam "score" by spamassassin. Usually there is a provision to add a particular email address to a "whitelist" which will cause a very negative score to be added to the tally for the email. Has your friend contacted the postmaster at the server? Looking at your original note you mentioned that the email from your friend was "blocked". Since spamassassin doesn't block mail in any fashion it may be that the receiving mail server is using a dnsbl in conjunction with his MTA. This type of "blocking", however, usually concerns the "connecting" system rather than the "originating" system for a particular piece of email even if they use the very same dnsbl.
