I attended the USENIX conference in San Antonio last month for the Sendmail seminar. Eric Allman (the author of Sendmail) said that in the near future we will see email become fragmentary and crippled due to the neglect by ISP's to adequately punish the spammers they're providing services to, or condoning through their inaction. More and more people and companies will flatly refuse any mail from entire netblocks or domains which will cripple the ability of legitimate users to communicate with the rest of the world. The key is to inform those people of the exact reasoning why their ISP is "bad" and encourage them to use someone legitimate. If the ISP has no customers because they're blacklisted, the problem will become theirs, instead of ours. Personally, I encourage the use of blacklists, provided they're responsible, act quickly, and provide unbiased services that allow a problem to be fixed and remove the offender as quickly as they list them. Somewhere between allowing it all, and blocking it all is the happy medium, and it's going to be different for everyone.
