Ahhh  - the point exactly. As long as ISPs find it financially
attractive to allow spammers to operate, and to not even enforce
the anti-spamming clauses in their contracts with their customers,
there is little incentive for those who don't want to bear the
cost of spam delivery to either use central lists or to be
careful or precise as to why delivery from a specific site is
blocked.

For most, the private lists become roach motels - once a domain
or IP address checks in, it never checks out. Complain to the
domain who got listed in the first place, wink wink, nudge nudge.
