I think not. I operate an internal blacklist of spam sources as well as using a public open relays list. We're preventing more and more spam and the amount that we see in mailboxes is much reduces. I check the blocked messages (in the logs) several times every day and we have never yet had a false positive. It does take a little work however I consider it worth the effort and it pays dividends as users here receive less spam and that becomes a selling point. SMTP remains far too useful.
