The problem with blacklisting is that it assumes all new servers are innocent.  
A spammer gets to run amok until they're caught, and then change hostnames.

A combination of whitelisting and blacklisting would be more effective.  
Server admins apply to a central authority (e.g. the JSF) to get on the 
whitelist.  The application process must not discriminate, but must take some 
time, so that it discourages repeated applications.  That way, new servers 
are assumed guilty, and the only way spam gets to users is if the spam 
server's admin took the time to register their server.  That server then gets 
blacklisted, and they have to wait a whole new week to register again.

If you do it with blacklists, the spam admin might just buy a new domain once 
a day to get around it.
