While I can't speak for the others on your list, we have been putting a 
fair amount of thought into abuse detection and mitigation at GoGrid.  We 
are well aware of the problems we would have if our address space were to 
end up with a bad reputation.  If stuff does get through that shouldn't, 
please contact abuse at gogrid.com and we'll take care of it.
