The attitude of a lot of these ISP's is unfornately "If they pay their bill, then let them do what ever they want". IE the almighty buck calls the shots again. And some of these ISP's are so big that nobody dares to do anything about their attitude. In fact a lot of them simply charge their users more for handling additional megs of mail and so don't care what it contains or who it affects.
I say that the operators of a lot of these DNSBL's are really the "Good Guys" and should be supported as much as possible.
