Hi,

I think undo is not the correct way. Think of the following:

Some user clicks accidentally on the blacklist link.
The email address of the sender is put into blacklist without further  
notice. He probably even don't notice what happens.

Weeks later his chief complains (the sender address was the address of  
his/her chief) that the user never answers his emails, and never did  
some important work ...

Undo will not help, as it just would remove the address from the  
blacklist, but any mail sent in the time between is definitly lost.  
Even the user didn't notice what happens, and does not know why the  
mails get lost ...

This could lead to very uncool situations.

So please add some pop up, which will at least inform the user about  
what he did, best of I think a confirmation dialog, but at least a  
informational dialog.

Sincerly,
Klaus
