People who complain that the PBL is blocking things that aren't spam
kind of don't get the point of the PBL. The PBL's definition means
that it will block non-spam. It should also block a lot of spam, but
the fact that it will block ham is not an indictment of the PBL. It
just means that people who complain about that fact don't understand
the PBL.
If only more people understood this. Thanks for the post John, you
summarized it very well. If anyone ever whines about the PBL again,
please repost.
John Ruud's post needs to be in the faq.

The Spamhaus PBL is a DNSBL database of end-user IP address ranges which
should not be delivering unauthenticated SMTP email to any Internet mail
server except those provided for specifically by an ISP for that
customer's use. The PBL helps networks enforce their Acceptable Use
Policy for dynamic and non-MTA customer IP ranges.
