Any use of third-party "blacklists" as an absolute guide to what you can 
reject is, charitably, really stupid.  Use them to _hint_ sure, but 
outright rejection is lunacy.

Who else recalls the time a popular-at-the-time blacklist shutdown 
without warning and blacklisted _the entire IPv4 space_?  That was a 
good day for dumb mail admins everywhere :)
