And the alternative is? They have to fight an ever escalating battle
with the spammers, who, by the way, don't seem to give a shit about
"innocent" users either. They're fighting fire with fire, and
unfortunately, some people are caught in the middle. But if you're
blaming the Sysadmins or DNSBL's for your woes, you're blaming the wrong
people. If the friggin' spammers weren't being the abusive assholes that
they are, NONE of this would be necessary. It's like saying "Don't back
that fire truck over my flower bed! I'd rather let the fire burn down my
house!" Or a dictum from a CEO who has *no* concept of what they demand:
Monday: "Turn off those filters! I can't get mail from Hotmail!"
Tuesday: "Why didn't you fix the spam problem? Are you ignorant?"
Wednesday: "I can't get mail from Hotmail again!"
Thursday: "Why do I have 100 spam messages again?"
Friday: "You're incompetent, so I'm firing you."
