Well personally I think the WH list is excellent and contributes greatly
to blocking of spam with VERY few false positives that I can find, if any.

Yes some lists get caught on them but nothing a local whitelist can't
solve :)

Also by checking the WH list first before the DNS based ones you can often
reject the spam without the extra cost of the DNS lookups.
