Checking against ISP customer IP pools is pretty rare.  My ISP's
mailserver is blocked by three RBLs I check against at last check, I'd
rather not route outbound through servers with known stupid admins.

Yup.  Mostly because assuming a particular ISP is a spammer based
entirely on the fact it's on the other side of a dialup, cable modem, or
DSL bridge fromt he rest of the net is draconian and considered stupid
by most admins.
