And the problem for your customers is that they probably don't realize how many orders they are not getting. They can't quantify it, because they don't know what is being blocked. And if they do sales to small business, those are the ones most likely to get blocked when you drop all cable networks (regardless of service class). The small business in danger of going out of business in this case is your subscriber, not the one on charter.net. As more people become aware of the problem such class blocking causes, one of two solutions will prevail: all small subscribers will get the ability to set up DNS (perhaps using dynamic dns?) or those who perform such blocking will become second tier providers, suitable for home users and not business (just as few serious businesses attempt to use AOL as their email provider anymore). Such a crude tool might be more suitable for free email accounts, where people are more likely to accept missing a few emails in return for free service and anonymity. At the same time, such services are more likely to need to block massive spam loads, as users have less interest in keeping their email addresses from being given out.
