Subject: A Nice Spam Blacklist?

As a subscriber, I've been following the ongoing problems with spamcop and 
have butted heads with a blacklist in the past, but as the SysAdmin of a 
regional ISP, I've come to the conclusion that I have no choice but to 
begin subscribing to one.  The Spam is simply clogging the server. 
SpamAssassin is great, but it only increases the load on the server and is 
difficult to support for the userbase.

Do you, or anyone on the list know of a "nice" blacklist?  One the tries to 
avoid collateral damage and quickly unblocks mistakes?
