That's ok. I agree you have the right to receive all your spam, as far
as you concede the same right to me to *not* receive it.
That's what recipients_reject_except is for.

Because if they were, AOL would be flooded by customers calls about
their legitimate emails being blocked by other ISPs using DNSBLs which
list open relays.

a) Debian is mostly made by amateurs with unknown rules.
b) The final proposal is to let those who ask not to receive mail
from IPs listed in the DSBL via the recipients_reject_except variable.
If you mean you will not ask to not receive all your spam, that's
fine, but those who ask should be able to say "no" to all this crap,
without even having to filter it. That's a waste of resources and one
of the reasons why spam is bad, no matter how good your ultra-intelligent,
bayesian, IA or whatever filters might be.
