I think that's maybe not a good idea, given the number of viruses forging sender addresses these days you're likely to end up excluding genuine messages from people who are not infected - meaning that getting out of your blacklist is entirely out of their control.  If you are only worried about reducing the number of alerts why not just set up a rule in your mail client to move those messages you are not interested in to a different repository (/dev/null ?!).  Also if you blacklist them you need to make sure they can still email you to tell you they are now clean - and you're also assuming that they know what they are doing & will be able to clean their machine to your satisfaction...
