Well, I've checked with some contacts I have who are experts in security. One of them works in internet security for the DOD in Arlington, VA, one is the Security Director at a fortune 100 company, and one owns a large nationwide hosting company. All frowned on the practice of blocking port 80 by range of IP and said it's rare and extreme to totally block even a specific IP, but that it does happen. All thought that blocking mail traffic by IP was very normal.
I'm having conversations with my ISP about removing the blocks now. He is resistant, but the consensus is against blanket IP blocking.
