That's probably the case if you used many other blacklists. But if you
only use reliable blacklists to stop mail at first sight, I know only
two of them (ordb.org and njabl.org). The fact is ordb was very accurate
and didn't list anything else that real, tested openrelays, so there is
still a need for their kind of blacklist.
