Hehe. Good point. The main complaint against SPEWS is that they start with small block of IPs and increase it as the service provider continues to ignore the SPAM complaints. The result is that other users with the address space are effected as well. The theory is that the legit customers will pressure host to boot the SPAMMERS. The technique is simple and appears to work. Many hosts listwash for their pet spammers or change their IPs around. If they continue to ignore the complaints, their entire address space as well as some from their upstream provider , gets included in the block. When the host and many of their legit customers are all blocked, SPAMMY finally needs to find a new home.
