Because of this,
they are quick to list whole IP (internet address) ranges as spam sites on
very flimsy evidence, and are very slow to remove those lists if they made
a mistake (which they will never admit was a mistake).


This has the advantage of putting pressure on the ISPs to be a bit more careful
to whom they give accounts. Skin off the customer's back is skin off the
provider's back, and it's the providers that are guilty as well as the spammers
themselves. Many providers have no spam policy, or a 'wink wink' policy.
Others farm it out to all comers. Still others are open relays (they let
others bounce off their servers because they don't keep the door locked - this
was ok in the early days of the internet, but not since the two lawyers started
their spam campaign)
