Well, I consider myself moderately clueful, and I'm aware of the problem, and I use good software. And even so, I cause some backscatter. (The postfix-etcetera setups I look after use _mostly_ SMTP-level rejections, but not _exclusively_.)

From this I infer that even clueful people can and do cause backscatter.

So, I venture to suggest that while operating a backscatter blacklist may be possible, doing it _well_ will be very, very difficult.
