The only spam filtering I support is client or server based filtering that filters based on PHRASES rather than ips and gives the end user COMPLETE control to customize it.
I have a huge rules list in Outlooks and all my legit mail comes in, but spam gets auto deleted. So I'm not sure why they try to be all fancy with blocking ips and so on without giving the user any control of what they want thru and what they don't want thru.

Spews.org does a legitimate job, and is well supported and respected. You got bit, and that's sad.
However, your anger is misdirected - you got bit by a spammer, so why are you mad at the anti-spammers? Have the spammer killed, it can't cost more than a few grand. And blacklists like Spews are not hard to get off, you just have to stop spamming. (And no, legit opt in to your webmasters doesn't count as spamming unless some of your webmasters report it as such..)
