Exodus is pretty bad, too.  I see their IP space come up pretty often,
usually hosting what I call "Enterprise spammers," the real pros.
Those types aren't only in Exodus housing, of course; I'm sure they
like to spread it around, but they are pretty safe there.  Exodus
used to be pretty clean, but like a lot of data center operators did,
when the crunch came and they were looking potential bankruptcy in
the face, they started providing hosting for anybody who had money
in their pocket.  Spammers usually have it.  I don't think many of
them went bust when the dot-com bubble burst.

I love the smell of filtered spam in the morning - it smells like victory!
