Spamhaus flags any IP announced by our ASN as a criminal network

Our sponsor (LIR) 62yun.com, they have 2 prefixes for VPS/Dedicated Server
using our ASN.
62yun did receive a lot of complaints, but as far as I know they have been
handling them (their head said their team is not good at English and so
they did not reply emails)
For me, I cannot reply to all emails for them, since I don't have that much
time. I also need to work for my company.

I checked https://check.spamhaus.org/listed/?searchterm=46.23.100.0 and the
reason they gave us was simple, saying our not willing to handle abuse. but
we stressed with them many times that we are 2 different companies. We also
do not have the authority to handle these complaints, but we will alert
62yun.com.

But they still intend to blacklist all the prefixes under our ORG ID, even
if the user is not us.

Based on my past experiences, Spamhaus is rather gracious at first, but if

This has little impact on 62yun.com's VPS business, and my feeling is that
if someone uses their VPS to build a mail server those emails that are sent
from this server may be rejected.

However, we are recently building a CDN for one of our partners (a social
media company), and we need to use a provider like vultr, which is not
really an IP Transit provider, to announce prefixes, however, they reject
prefixes on the Spamhaus list.

I don't think any ISP would reject an IP that is on the Spamhaus list.
