Generally speaking, this is not accurate. MAPS is notorious for this behaviour, blacklisting entire subnets over mostly political reasons in addition. Notice I do not use MAPS. Spamcop, for example, works in the exact opposite manner you describe. It checks against what @spamcop.net email addresses are recieving and what's reported by all users, regaurdless of wheter or not they have a Spamcop email address. If the number of messages reported by humans as spam via Spamcop exceeds 2%, that IP gets blacklisted for 7 days, the spam percentage goes back below 2%, or until the ISP notifies SC that it's fixed. SC seems to be the most effective, with nearly surgical precision. -- .''`.
