If this is a democracy, then I vote in favor of the blacklist feature.

This opens up some neat possiblities with reading /var/log/maillog
and using information gleaned from that to dynamically update the
blacklist entries.  See http://www.acme.com/mail_filtering/ for some
examples of how to do this.
