This was responded to in a previous post
The decision to block a TLD is not made lightly, and its not taken because
we got a few hundred spams either, there must be thousands of it and over
several days, for a first time block, and a second time block gets them
in there for a couple months, and third time, they deserve to be
blocked for life.
I'd say it is taken far too lightly, and with scant regard for the
consequences. Blocking all of .biz, for example, because of *some*
abusing it, then saying that it deserves permanent blocking because of
them is an incredibly unintelligent response. The rest that use it
without being abusive have no part in the abuse, and no control over the
abusers, are now being abused by you.
Welcome to the real world. I guess you've never been repsonsible for an
ISP of any considerate size, or at all have you? Because you sure as heck
wouldn't have these opinions if you were the one who had to deal with it
on a massive scale every single day.
We could become just like Telstra and alias abuse@ to /dev/null and
say " its not our problem "
we are screwed either way, people like you bitching because we block known
spam sources and people unlike you whop bitch about getting it all.
At least customers don't scream as much about leaving if you stop
their 'well known watch wearing' 'all night long hard on' spams
