If you want a restaurant analogy: It's like a restaurant hiring a
goon and giving him a yearbook so he can turn away all local
high-schoolers, because a couple of them once vandalized a restroom.

What is the "it" you're referring to?

The DNSBL publisher is like the yearbook publisher in that example; it
just publishes data.

The restaurant owner is like the mailswerver owner.

One key difference in the US is that the mailserver owners is
_specifically_ permitted by law to take whatever action _he_ thinks is
appropriate to block unwanted email.
