for me, there's one problem with this alternative to
the "stupid" spamhaus solution — it requires i run
a linux server.

i never claimed that spamhaus is a panecea.  but it
does solve a large portion of the problem for me
in a tiny shell script that runs on plan 9.

whitelists can handle some unfortunate conflicts. and
at this point, i think managing a spamhaus exception
list is going to be easier than managing content
based filtering.
