It depends what you are looking for. blacklist means you just refuse mail 
sent from dynamic pools.

The above setup will require a minimum delay of 15 mn between resends
attempts, except for hosts on dynamic pools, which will have to wait 
one hour.

dynamic pools host xDSL and cable customers, which are known to be 
infected by spam engines. Very few of them will send legitimate mail.
Those who will can do it with a delay of one hour.

Yes, it's amazing how efficient the new features can be. I have not seen a
single spam getting through yet. I use exactly the setup above, but with 
a even higher delay for dynamic pools.
