Hahaha. Don't worry, if you can handle the postfix list, you can handle 
spam-l no problemo. But spam-l members are mostly hosters (lurkers not 
included) so maybe there is not much point for you unless you want to 
try to ping a hoster's admin/postmaster.

And I suppose you are going to say that Matthew calls Outblaze spammers.

Well then, produce proof that Outblaze spams or sends spams on behalf of 
others then.

HA! Unfortunately, I doubt you have automated removal of netblocks that 
have been allocated to some clueless company who don't know they are 
getting 'tainted' netblocks from their unscrupulous ISP. So even if, as 
you say, you give 'fair' warning, I doubt that means much. Most 
non-hosting sites don't have to care about receiving emails from Yahoo, 
Hotmail, Google or Outblaze clients like Mail.com.

Sure, it's pointless otherwise. However, you won't find Outblaze 
netblocks in any sane blocklist (country blocklists and such like ones 
exempted...that is their purpose).
