I can't speak for Joern who should be returning as list admin in the near future; but as long as I'm taking care of the lists I will not block ISPs. That's throwing the baby out with the bathwater, IMHO.
However, as previously mentioned, I'd like to get spamassasin in the list processing chain. I just don't know when i'll be able to do so.
hi paul, hi everyone,
i'm back and digging through my mail :)
if it's up to me, i won't be blocking entire isps for now. i'd rather we close the list and get some additional spam blocking in place, see how it works.
*BUT* if the current spam madness continues, there might come a time where use of the Big Cluebat (tm) on incompetent is called for...

Go on, then, nice guy.
not a very nice way to put it, but sometimes all you can do is to pass the unpleasantness on to some innocent man in the middle, in the hope that they will attack the problem at its true source when the pain threshold is reached.... IOW: tell your isp in very clear words what you expect of them and how the usability of their product is reduced by their not adhering to internet best practices.
