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.
