blog: Don't use Spamhaus

Ah, the joys of running your own mail server - mine has bounced incoming mails for the last week. The cause: Having the Spamhaus blocklist in my acceptance chain. Their promise was that the data set is available for free for low-volume non-commercial users. Which my mail server is. Which they have now randomly decided my mail server is not. The number of queries they received from me in said week: 16.

Last week, another blocklist provider went full Leeroy Jenkins and classified every query as spam. Great stuff.
