That’s unrealistic. Many ISPs these days that aren’t the “big boys” with
dedicated staff for every facet of ISP operations, they are one and two man
shops running WISPs in rural areas or developing countries. It’s not the 90’s
anymore. It’s a terrible default, even home users should have to take an effort
to enable a commercial service.
And spamhaus should just replace the sales pitch email with instructions on how
to comment their stuff out if they don’t want small ISPs (a small business,
actually!) to use it. :)
