Aaron, White listing or blacklisting is up to you. If you are using another person's blacklist then you must accept their methods or decisions.
Try using spamd to weed out mail servers and perhaps manually white list servers who you want to trust. Then setup your own blacklist with your own scripts or how about using the Greyscanning script by Bob Beck? How about setting up greytrapping with spamd.alloweddomains file? This link lists out a lot of options we found make spamd very powerful.
