I agree with Mark - those blacklists that seem to derive pleasure from blocking an entire ISP don't do the anti-spam cause any good and should not be used wherever possible.
Never mind whole ISPs. There are multiple whole countries that I would cheerfully block. Character encodings, too, to look a bit further inside a mail than origin and envelope.
It's nothing to do with pleasure, either.
Yes, my client side spam filter checks for korean character sets and bins any mail with them. That gets rid of a whole lot of junk (and I don't have any Korean correspondents).
