We can at least pester them about it. If enough of us do, eventually
they will have no choice but to listen, especially in case of paying
customers.
I avoid "free" mail services because I prefer not to be the commodity, so have
been a paying customer (nb.net) forever. But nb.net no longer run their own MTA (maybe
for just this reason?), farming it out to userservices.net. As a result they increasingly
unresponsive to complaints. I have not figured out my next step.

Is there an intelligent way to manage when spam control efforts break
the system they want to protect? Do the debian lists attempt to
control spam by blocking specific users, domains or ISPs?

Yes, that is where I started, but it does not address what measures the debian
lists use to control spam. This thread was the next step toward mitigating the
problem on my end. Thanks for your reply.
