Welcome to the trade-offs between blocking spam and blocking legitimate
customers who got on the blackhole lists.

At my company, we had a very good look at the blackhole list sites and
did some experimentation to determine which we could use, given that we
didn't want to block our customers from access.

This is the list we now use:
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `relays.visi.com')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `sbl.spamhaus.org')dnl

We did find that some of the black hole list sites accept requests from
just about anybody to have a site added - not good.  Red Hat got one of
their corporate mailers on the list but nothing would have prevented
your or me from adding Microsoft or anybody else we wanted to piss off.

In any case, you should be prepared to tell your customers how to get
them off the list.  Each black hole site typically has instructions on
how to do this.
