A bl[oa]cklist does not block email.

A listing on a bl[oa]cklist can cause email to be blocked.

A bl[oa]cklist without anyone using it will not cause any mail to be
blocked.
A bl[oa]cklist without anyone using it is pointless.

The statement that 'a blacklist blocks mail' is... wrong.

Sophistry.

Your intent in listing an IP address in your blacklist is that mail
from that IP address be more likely to be blocked or filtered.
