Do spam block lists only block spam e-mails, or do they on occasion 
sometimes block both legitimate e-mail and spam?

Yes, your IRC was probably listed by mistake.  And more than likely 
someone will correct that mistake.

Yes, it is agravating to you personally because it is your server that
was blocked by mistake.

Although this seems to be the first bit mistake in over two years, does
that make the practice unacceptable as another tool to respond to Bots?
