You know, that's *exactly* what I tell subscribers to mail lists who
are on ISPs who use ORBS. Seems I had an open relay that was
forwarding through me, and I got blocked by ORBS (or dorkslayers, or
whatever) because of that.

Actually, it isn't - it's a simple matter of more immediate
response. If my mail server has a problem, I fix it. If my ISPs mail
server has a problem, I have to call their support number, and they
then call a tech to fix the problem. I respect my ISP, but I can fix a
problem faster than they can get someone to look into one.
