And after reading this again....

Why don't you (instead of slamming someone's choice of
ISP's) get behind a sound solution like Sender Policy
framework + secure sendmail/postfix/qmail
implementation?  Everywhere I've implemented this, the

address space for spamming has just quietly withered
away.

Choose a technical route and support standards.
