So with all this talk of Blacklists...  does anyone have any suggestions
that would be helpful to curb the onslaught of email, without being an
adminidictator?

Right now, the ONLY list we are using is that which is provided through
spamcop. They seem to have a list that is dynamic and only blacklists
during periods of high reports, then takes them off the list after a
short time...

Or am I just a little naive?

don't let some third party you have no relation to determine the 'fate'
of
your email/messages? with all blacklists you run the same risk, someone
else now controls the fate of your 'service'. Unless you have some very
large hammer to beat them with it's going to cause you pain eventually,
when they decide that ${PROVIDER} is 'gone black' or whatever they call
it
these days... or they just fat finger some entry.
