Hi Micheal: It's been a while since I've had to deal with them directly. Spamhaus is not one of the ones that I have had to deal with in the past. The biggest PITA real time black hole list shut down active operations about 4 years ago, but left their last list in place, making it impossible for incorrectly listed mail servers to get off the list.
When I was contracted to Owens-Corning, they started a push to use real time black hole lists, until they suddenly could not receive mail from their operations in China. The service they were using had blocked the ENTIRE Asian region, Japan, China, et.al. To say the least, OC didn't use RTBL's for very long. John H.

I actually dedicated a section of that article to listing which popular ones to be careful of, and why. But, who specifically do you mean by "they" ?
