Spamhaus is a joke

Are any serious administrators actually using Spamhaus out there? They are the equivalent of a kindergarden bully in the blacklist game. Whole netblocks flagged because of one rogue IP even if your company doesn't own the IP flagged. If you've ever been on this end of Spamhaus' "service" you know how impossible and downright rude they are to deal with.

There are better lists to use.

Spammers made them the joke, but look at who's laughing. Makes the other blocklists start adding Spamhaus' current blocklist to their list, along with some notations and evidence gathering. Now who's the joke?
That's right, you [spammer/moron]. A chain of events will cause the millions of email adressees (to includes customers of Spamhaus, who have lots of money, like corporations and such) to revolt and call their congresscritters on the carpet about such bs as you spammers think everybody and their Ten Million friends wants.
Cut your own throat much?

I agree. Spamhaus is almost as big a pain in the neck as the spammers. They are 2 sides of a dysfunctional system. Neither deserves to win. A pox on both their houses.
