Most major providers will, if one person acts up in your datacenter and you're not at some enormous facility with a name brand, simply ban the entire netblock. They don't care about collateral damage. I even get mail server admins who block my Google Business email ... and that's a PAYING space, and ergo one of the least polluted netblocks for spam on the entire internet.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Let's pretend that you love a good beating.
