That gets back to one of my earlier points, which is you want to have 
management buy-in that there will be some mail rejected that you want to 
recieve.  We made the decision that the trade-off was worth it. We also 
monitor what gets rejected. Ive got a perl script that read the syslog 
files and sends email with whats been rejected.  

We've had customer systems show up on ORDB for having an open relay. Thats
pretty well defined and pretty easy to fix.  The problem is that something
like a SpamCop listing is much harder to resolve.  This is the reason the
GnatBox really needs a whitelist to overide the DNSBL listings when you 
cant fix the problem in a timely way.
