Certainly have done it on employers network before (a public ISP), and would have no problem doing it again if the need arose. There is no such thing as 'too big' when it comes to handling the shit storm of spam that gets spewed out of some organisations, and I'll treat Gmail and the likes the same as a ma 'n pa run outback country dialup ISP, there is no difference in my eyes, the fact that many see there is, is exactly why the likes of Gmail don't give a rats about spam complaints, if more operators started taking a stand, and directed their users bitching about blocked mail to Gmail etc, maybe Google etc, will pull their finger out of their ears (amongst other places) and not only listen, but act. It's in their interest to play nice, they make money by data mining every single Gmail users account, targeting, and advertising, if they keep getting blocked, less people will use them, they will start to notice the impact on their bottom line sooner or later.
