FWIW I know Hetzner since almost a decade as a customer and
personally. They rent dedicated machines and sadly many people fail to
correctly run and administer these. I know that they react to abuse, I
have received abuse complaints through Hetzner myself that I was able
to clear up (people still sometimes think portscans are evil).
I can say that Hetzner as a company is highly competent, having met
and worked with people there for a long time.
So I don't think blocking a whole /16 with probably ten thousands of
individual customers would be wise for most people (might still work
for you). Sure you will see a lot of bad stuff in your logs but that
is probably true for many net blocks (at least it is for my
mailserver). I for my part also see a lot of good stuff coming from
that netblock and that is because I'm from Germany and many people
that send me mail here in Germany host at Hetzner.
Coming back to the topic, I don't even know if that is the reason for
the Microsoft blacklist and that is what annoys me the most.

Sebastian
