A few replies inline, but, in general, I only run two small exits, so the level of effort and amount of spam I get is very low (my blocklist currently only has three entries :) ). If any other exit operators have a similar "I try to help educate you, if you don't bother responding I'll start dropping your emails" policies, I'm happy to figure out a way to grow this, but for now I'll note that probably want to just blackhole anything from autogenerated@blocklist.de :).

Of course, it's important to note in this context that there's still a lot of education that has to happen about what Tor is and/or reminding operators of those automated systems that they should skip Tor relays.

It's hard to create a globally applicable blocklist for something like this of any size, since by definition, you have to try to work with them manually before adding anyone to the list. I certainly don't blame you for keeping and sharing such a list, though.
Right, I don't run large exits currently, only a few 10s of Mbps, so I can tolerate a few minutes of work responding each time and adding to the blocklist after a few failed responses :).

I hear personal frustration rather than pointing out any problem. Keeping an email server clear of RBLs is real work, but also not that hard if you
Ironic that my mail landed in a spam folder given its from a server on a /24 that doesn't host much else and that I personally own, has never sent spam, and is not on any RBLs. EMail is broken, this shouldn't be news.
