I think Ian meant listing of people who bounce viruses is fine.

The classic DNSBL argument! Assuming they are muppets, they will
ultimately be ignored, with few mail admins using them to block. If
however enough mail admins are using them to block as to cause pain to
those listed, then one might at least sit and think whether or not their
listing policy has some merit afterall.
