Of course. But then again, I would say block the whole lot and allow their legitimate outbound servers through (those which are not open proxies/relays).

BY, BT, NTL and Tiscali are virus sewers. Cox used to be one until last month. Comcast is spammy. VSNL[1] is mostly spammy. VSNL leased circuits are not. Chinanet and Hinet are as bad as Comcast.
