In fairness, SORBS and Spamhaus are some of the better candidates, and
ISP-bundled mail servers typically are _full_ of spam because their
customers get viruses that proceed to use their email accounts for
spamming all the time.

If you want to get your email delivered reliably and receive email
reliably, run your own mailserver or get someone who knows what they're
doing to run one for you.
