I'm sure most spammers would *love* to be invited onto whitelists! If
they can automate being added, even better! :-)
Personally, I block with bl.spamcop.net, so it's dynamic based on who
is sending spam "right now" (or in the last 48 hours).... wanadoo IP's
show up all the time, but it's not a network-wide-block.
<soapbox>
Or, even better: get an ISP who's not spam-friendly? I'm frustrated
that users of spam-friendly ISP's somehow think it's the problem of the
black/whitelist, or a problem at the recipient's end, since the
*source* of the problem is at the ISP who thinks nothing of polluting
the internet with 419 scams, donkey porn, and herbal viagra.
Get a good ISP, and never worry about being blacklisted again!
