Personally, I don't factor the price of domains into the block/pass
decisions,
You should. There is a very strong correlation between cheap and bad.
And there are very rational reasons for that:
* Keeping the spam volume from your customers low requires an active abuse
desk team which costs money.
* A truly effective handling of spamming customers includes terminating their
contracts if necessary, which cuts revenues.
* To be able to recognize bad apples early, you need to have some sort of KYC
policy, which on one hand costs money to
implement, on the other hand might deter not only the crooks who want to
avoid being traceable, but also ordinary
customers with a desire for privacy.
Of course, there are counterexamples, providers which aren't cheap but whose customers still emit a nasty amount of spam
(maybe providing bulletproof "pink contracts" to their bad customers), and organizations run on volunteer and
cooperative work which provide free or cheap services to a restricted audience.
Overall, the association of a domain name or IP address with the organizations
providing them isn't unreasonable.
Cheers,
Hans-Martin
