Reread it, i said *YOUR* ISP marking *YOUR* leased IP(s) as
*DUL/DYN/RES* read before replying (OH yes, ISP'S *DO* this kind of
thing to enforce their polices.) :-D And yes, an isp who does not agree,
is sheit imo, if they're too lazy to classify their ips, move along, get
sat, cable etc. The have direct control over what THEY report to the
blacklist. Server admins who knowingly use blacklists that "blacklists
deliberately list whole blocks of IP addresses that happen to be on the
same backbone provider as a spammer, to intentionally cause collateral
damage." should be shutdown. That is not only irresponsible of the admin
who is administering the blacklist, but also of the server admin who
uses said blacklist. I think False positives and mails that are blocked
are far worse than the spam message itself. If you aren't in business to
make money based on customers corispondance via email, this isn't an
issue for you. If I were a customer and I had a question, only to find
out my message was blocked because someone in affrica set up a blacklist
that blocks all of my ISP's range of leaseable addresses, I'd find a new
company, and you'd by out of my money. If you aren't interested in
making money, such schemes will work to drive your customers away my
friend.
I can easily stop spam by putting in *.*.*.*; is that lazy: yes. is that
irresponsible: yes. should you be sacked: yes :-D
Thanks,

I doubt any ISP would agree to a contract term like that, because they
don't have any control over what the blacklist maintainers do. Some of
the blacklists deliberately list whole blocks of IP addresses that
happen to be on the same backbone provider as a spammer, to
intentionally cause collateral damage. There's little an invididual ISP
can do about that.
