Counterpoint, our mail admins spend a lot of time trying to convince small-scale providers to shutdown the spam email coming from them. Lots of people who host at small scale providers don’t care about patches, so they send tons of spam.

Doesn't seem like a counterpoint to me. The provider you're describing isn't clueful. A clueful provider pays attention to what's happening on their network and knows how to make themselves an unattractive host for spammers.

I suppose that's why the person you're replying to specified clueful!
