No, for several reasons: 1. Free colocation is extremely hard to find. We would be crazy to rock the boat. 2. It's not my job. Why should I be forced to harass the ISP because we are unlucky enough have IP addresses near some spammers? The SPEWS policy just adds to the harm created by spammers. Spammers know how to avoid RBLs and often do, they just switch ISPs and change IP addresses from time to time. 3. It's not my call. There is more than one non-profit on the network. Unless I can find a better colocation deal for everyone, it would be unethical for me to complain because it seems likely to decrease the probability that the for-profit will continue donating colocation services. We've had to relocate equipment before when a company changed their mind and it was not easy. There's an expression: "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth". Finally, it's not just these two sites, of course. A lot of innocent non-spammers have been targeted by SPEWS.
