As regarding spam, blacklists are lists of known spammers, their IP addresses, and/or their ISP (Internet Service Provider). Using this information, spam filters can block all messages coming from known spammers and/or their ISPs. ISPs that fail to discipline spammers may find all email from their legitimate customers blocked by large numbers of recipients.
