   In a word, No.

   I'm in a spamhaus blacklist right now (working on it!!!), and spamhaus
refuses to say why. These things happen!

   If we were seeing a higher volume of spam get through, I'd agree to
instituting a moderation-like process; but we're not, and I dislike
make-work for moderators.

   Perhaps somebody would like to work on a captca?

   Indeed, we try!

   But very few blacklist maintainers offer actually useful information
to help us do this.

   We _could_ in principle work up protocols to replace zero-maintenance
blacklists as "the solution" to spam. I tried, the last time the topic
was hot; but totally failed to get anything that wasn't trivial to bypass.

   How much are you contributing to the funding of that additional work?
