More importantly you make yourself an open relay to that server, and open
youself up to be included along with them in the blacklists should it be
discovered and utilized.

The other approach is to whitehole the accounts (in the form of
<postmaster%*@blacklisted> = postmaster ) that need to receive mail from
blacklisted servers.  You can't target just the blacklisted server of
interest, but you don't subject all SIMS accounts to spam potential, and
don't open yourself up as a relay.
