Exceptions to the rule do happen; I'm sorry your experience was the exception. Dealing with that kind of thing can be quite a pain if you're not experienced with it. But again:
"If you find yourself in an IP range involved in a severe, ongoing, high-volume spam scenario that's affecting your delivery, then it means your provider is not managing IP range reputation, or not doing it very well, and you should vote with your dollars and move somewhere else." |

You know why? Because any IP-adress that I can afford, is going to be blackholed.
You make it sound like the blame lies with the Linodes, Digital oceans or even the Hezners or ISPs. This is not their fault. The blame lies, entirely, with Microsoft and Google (And to lesser extend Yahoo) using a cannon to shoot a mosquito.
Again: My IP (the address, not the range) was fine. It had been fine for many years. Why then, must Google and/or Microsoft, randomly, block this address? Why can't they make exceptions for reputable addresses within a range of bad ones? (I know why: they are lazy and use the easy path: just block everything and accept some "collateral damage", especially when that "collateral damage" cements their oligopoli a bit more, and when avoiding that collateral damage not only costs more work, but enables competition to exist (and grow))
