There is always this risk. There is always the potential to lose a valid email. This is of course a catch twenty-two. What to do...Deliver all email and risk having customers move to competition because they claim to be spam free...Or take a chance of dropping a valid email here and there.

This isn't about wanting or using dns-based lists or custom netblock filters as much as it is about trying to reduce the ways that spammers exploit our mail servers. By starting there, we can begin to reduce the amount of spam. I personally think blacklisting an entire domain because of a few bad eggs is a bad thing.
