Weighing in with an opinion, as bad as blacklists *may be*, at least
they let the sender know something's up. Not in an artful way, to be
sure, but they give some notice. The sender can do _something_,
including dropping his association with the recipient b/c it's not worth
his time and trouble. Blackholing email because you think it's spam, OTOH,
is pure evil.
