If someone is to Joe-Job me then I'd rather that mailing lists bounce the
messages, if it gets bad I could filter out all mailing list messages
temporarily.
If someone Joe-Jobbing me results in messages from me getting delivered to
mailing lists then that would be worse than having the lists bounce them IMHO
(before you ask, I've been Joe-Jobbed before).
When someone else gets Joe-Jobbed I'd rather deal with the spam using DNSBL
and spam-assasin to protect myself. For spam that gets through that I would
rather just report it to SpamCop myself than add to the problems of the poor
sod who's being Joe-Jobbed.

True, that's one of the things that should be in large warnings on any C-R
system in Debian.
