Nope. They are a NOTORIOUS spamhaus; the day they stop shovelling spam
into people's inboxes, there will be a cool breeze in hell...

It's actually bad enough that one of my mail filtering rules junks ANY

virtually abandoned my Hermes account, it just gets too much
foreign-language spam I can't even read!
