Re: I for one...
Good, I hope this happens more to Spamhaus. These guys label spam with no care of who it hurts.
I had a site once that sent no mass mailing at all. It had a forum where people could register and then it validated their registration via email, similar to what this forum here does.
Someone(s) reported the VALIDATION as SPAM multiple times and got the server blacklisted. For a couple of weeks half of my outgoing mail ended up in peoples spam boxes or was blocked at the door. The email server became useless to me.
Try to get delisted from that bohemoth is next to impossible, you basically just have to wait it out.
I am glad someone is holding them responsible.

The award can't be enforced against Spamhaus without taking enforcement to a court in the UK. The spammer won't do that because the spammer will lose in the UK court.
For Spamhaus it will just be business as usual. For me that is a good thing because the Spamhaus SBL-XBL is the most effective means of keeping spam out of my server that I have found. If I couldn't use a list like Spamhaus provides, I'd have to stop using email.

I support your point here. I've been IT Manager for several companies over the years and these blacklists are getting out of hand. In their self-righteous way to fight spam, they do not care who gets hurt. Their process for removing from blacklist is so difficult and frustrating, and it should not be the case. I hope someone come up with better approach instead of throwing the baby out with the bath water...

When you scrape through the murky water that is your Inbox full of spam day in and day out without finding a baby, well; I run a mail server, and I will block incoming. Either borrowing a list published by somebody else, or using my own homegrown list.
At least with a published list you have some hope for removal. You mostly don't have any hope when the list is privately operated, and not even announced.
