Thinking out loud...

Would it be possible for the two sides (blocklists and a cloud/hosting 
providers) to come together and have some kind of automated notification?

Sample automated conversation via JSON API:

- The blocklist adds a block for X net block
- Resolves the owner of the net block (XYZ provider)
- Submits a JSON report to XYZ provider (https://blocklist.api.provider.com)
- The provider takes an automated action (close port 25)
- The provider takes manual action by getting in touch with their client
- Client of the server takes action (clean server)
- Client of the server requests delisting via a web form

Thus:

- the actual client of the server is notified of a security incident in a 
timely manner
- spam is stopped as soon as possible!

Would any of this be possible? Someone should write the RFC :)
