== ISP Centric Configuration Discovery ==
 
How about creating a "standard" to allow auto-discovery information in DNS TXT field, similar to that of whatever span prevention thing (sorry I forgot the name of that technology)? ISP and Domain owner can then maintain their configuration without submitting changes to every mail client vendor.
 
Web page discovery style with META tag or MicroFormat like OpenID should works equally well.
 
A lot of things has to the think through like trust, compatibility and flexibility. But I believe this kind of model works better than contributor creating the list. Of course, both technology can exists and implemented at the same time.
