a) That is *not* what I said.
b) "in" what? Individual members of the mailing list can block
whatever they want, and nothing you or I or FreeBSD.org do can
change that. The comment we're responding to was about *one*
person who said he was blocking Interbusiness -- it's not as though
it was the whole list.

I agree in principle, but this battle is already lost.

That's a good idea, and (I suspect) more fruitful in the long run than
running blacklists, but it won't solve your immediate problem. At
least, not in the short run.
Meanwhile, before you get yourself further puffed up in righteous
indignation, remember that it's still speculation whether domain
blacklists have anything to do with your messages getting bounced.
There are many other possibilities.
Meanwhile, this is now off-topic for freebsd-questions, and should
move to -chat.
Be well.
