While I know that the terms black-, white-, and greylisting have become
fairly standard in the world of spam prevention, from a social justice
standpoint the word "BLACKlist" has long been out of favor for the obvious
reason that it calls to mind a negative correlation between it's current
intended meaning and it's tie to historical oppressions. 

I wonder how difficult it might be to change of the name of  "mail blocker"
label used in Horde to something less controversial from a social justice
point of view?
 
I know  it may seem a small point but sometimes even the smallest details
can contribute to greater social change, and being on staff at a wonderfully
diverse college campus actively committed to social change we do our best to
eliminate  language weighted with oppressive bias when we can. 

please consider it.

Thanks.
