dorkslayer was one. He was finally shut down by his ISP after
refusing to modify his procedures (mostly because he put the blocks
in place first and notified later, if I remember correctly. His ISP
wanted him to send out warnings and if it wasn't fixed after some
period of time, then add the block. he refused) . Last I heard, it
was still shut down. He actually nailed one of my sites, which caused
me three days of craziness tracking down the relay and fixing it
(turned out to be a weird sendmail config thingie... he was right,
which caused me no end of irritation given my position on spam and
stuff...).
It also point out just how few sites actually subscribed to his
blocking service. It only impacted two sites with subscribers on it.
