LIke I said in  a previous post, it is not the normal way they do things, 
they might reserve the right to, and may in cases , like yours, do it, but 
given my other comment about blocking 66.x.x.x ranges I did, may in fact 
be the same reason SORBS  use netblocks.

Mostly they do, but some dont, some just dont even want to know.

Providors have a responsibility to the internet community to keep their 
customers in check. They get one warning from me, then suspension until 
they can prove why I should let them back on, 3rd time I don't care you're 
gone, however if it is deliberate spam, no warnings, no suspensions, it's
instant termination of all services, their acceptance of the service
contract is the only warning they get, if like most custoemrs enver read 
the terms bewfore singing, well thats just tuff luck for them :)
