If you're installing a blacklist on a mail server you keep at home for yourself, then yes. If you're running an ISP with thousands of customers, then you also have to deal with how you're impacting them. Sure, it may still be your equipment, but that won't matter if you tick off your paying customers and they decide to cancel their accounts and go to your competitors. Blackholing grandma because a spammer uses the same ISP isn't going to be an easy thing to get your customers to accept. -- David
