You run a botique provider of shells that - at least today - almost exclusively caters to geeks. You arent as likely to pick up genuinely badhat spamming customers as the rest of us large ISPs are - and the large colo farms (he.net, softlayer etc) are even more vulnerable to this kind of thing. Feedback loops (such as those AOL provide, or we provide - and we were the second ISP after AOL to offer ARF'd feedback loops) are about the best tool any ISP has available to it, to get near real time spam reports. You're a corner case. And an opinionated corner case at that. That doesnt change just how useful FBLs are to the vast majority of consumer ISPs out there. --srs
