[dba-Tech] Blocked Sender's List or Is this the right list forthis kind ofquestion?

I think Spamnet is a terrible idea. Just two quick reasons (there are 
several  technical ones ):

It queries a central server for every every email you received
That's got to be nearly as  much a waste of bandwidth as spam itself.

You are relying on other peoples judgement of what is spam.
One man's spam is another man's spiced ham :-)
