Sure, you can do that, and I'm sure Paul knows you can do that...  But
the point is, many of us run our own mail server specifically because
we don't want our e-mail going through our ISP's servers, for whatever
reason.  So every time you have to add a mailer table entry such as
these, you lose.

This is true, but it's largely irrelevant.  Knowing what a particular
black hole list does, and/or why it does that, doesn't do anything to
erase the frustration of being unable to send mail to a site without
resorting to means which are undesirable.  The mail is being blocked,
and that fact is completely out of your control.
