ISPs? Not of the top of my head. I know several businesses who have, and a
great many people who have blocked UUNet space from sending them email,
either by using SPEWS, the SBL, or mci.blackholes.us .

Do these people know how much legitimate email they're missing, for every
spam message that's blocked?

I noticed that from my personal mailbox (which I do filter with spam
assassin), for every one legit mail that gets blocked/tagged by SPEWS,
there's maybe 1-2 junkmails. Thats not a very impressive ratio...
