But, like other attempts to respond to network abuse (e.g. various
block lists), sometimes there are false positives and mistakes.  When
it happens, you tweak the filters and undue the wrong block. Demanding
zero chance of error before ISPs doing anything just means ISPs won't do
anything.


Running email abuse desks for about a decade now makes me tend to
agree with you .. and completely unfiltered pipes to the internet for
customer broadband are a pipe dream, most places.
