*Groan* Yet another RBL implementation?

Pro's and Con's of your system?

Ability for false positives to be picked up and dealt with in a
efficient manner?

Repercussions for lazy users that report items as spam rather then
unsubscribing for mailing lists or the like?

I'm sure there is a bunch of other things that can make or break a RBL
system, most are in fact useless due to zealots who start out with good
intentions and get complacent, lazy or frustrated.

In fact I wrote a rant about such a poorly implemented system this
morning, unable to remove/be excluded from their list, and the only
reason given is a country ban, and due to lack of
information/documentation I can only assume they black listed the entire
APNIC IP space, or at the very least Australia.
