I agree, and more importantly, *learning* that you are purposely not
being heard.
I think this is why things like DNSBLs used to bounce email and the
challenge-response systems get so much flak about false positives,
where systems that silently /dev/null false positives gets far less
attention. DNSBLs in particular publish their information, so you can
check that you are indeed listed, while you can't test content
filters.
Ignorance of a false positive may be bliss, but it isn't a good
thing.
