Personally, I think that's a bad way to look at it.  Spam is our problem 
and if we were vulnerable to either unauthenticated proxying or SMTP 
relaying, then it's -OUR- problem.  They provide easy to use tools to look 
it up.  They have an awful lot of IP's listed, so I question their 
legitimacy, but if Steve Orr has faith in them, it's worth looking 
at.

That's like saying a car with an emissions problem is the driver's problem 
and the state shouldn't care about it.
