Your first statement isn't true. Of course you care. If you didn't care
who was spamming, you wouldn't be using a DNSBL to block them.
By using a BL to block spammers, you are saying you don't want to
receive spam. The terms of use are known and clearly listed on each BL's
site.
You should have known that SBL would do this in extreme cases, if you
chose to use them.
