Although I manage a private blacklist I do not subject hosted domains to it. However, in order to mitigate the attack I was forced to use the blacklist when processing your email. It is possible that some people sending you email will find themselves blocked, since the blacklist I maintain and use personally is an aggregate of all IP addresses that attack all the domains I host. I will need to leave it in place until I see the attack stats drop off; then I'll remove it. I will be moving to domain-based blacklists in the not to distant future. This will take care of any future problems of this sort quite nicely.
