I'm quite concerned about badly administered DNSBLs.  That's why I use 
DNSBLs run by people I know and trust, rather than DNSBLs run by random 
strangers.

Using SSP is a whole lot like using random DNSBLs run by strangers -- in 
both cases you're asking someone who has no particular credibility whether 
to discard your incoming mail.  If you wouldn't do one, why would you do 
the other?
