Security tie-in:  The ability to DoS yourself by getting your main
mail hub listed in a popular black list, and then not being able to
talk to large parts of the net....

We had enough flame-grams when we started an alumni list - an amazing
number of people had either forgotten they had given the alumni office an
e-mail address to send info to, or who apparently did so expecting it
wouldn't be used for that purpose.  (And yes, somebody did screw up and
merge in some addresses they shouldn't have - said person was re-educated :)
