I like DNS blacklists, I really do. I think they're the right thing

with them is bounce messages - they suck. We need a friendlier bounce

why her email didn't get through.

DNS blacklists suck because they punish relays, not spam or spammers.  
Newbie admins are victims too.  Designing a protocol that allows the 
net to return to open relays would be an admirable accomplishment.

There was a time when people thought that penet.fi was a great idea too. 
Thankfully that time has passed.
