% Agreed, you can't relying on blacklisting specific IP's; you should instead

% here could be anything from a single IP to a /48, and you don't know :)

	whoops!  that tells me that whitelisting of specific 
	IP addresses (/128s) will become common by ISPs and 
	endusers as a spam prevention measure.   In that case,
	thr routing problem disappears, no?  :)
