Easy enough to block #25 by default -- turn it on for anyone who asks.
I think the idea of a botnet black hole list is great, really. Best if
support could be integrated into routers, though maybe enough to start

I think this site, projecthoneypot is similar? Though maybe something
that targets the bot nets specifically would be useful? I'm not sure.
Really I'm just an end user here.
