This isn't a new problem. If the facts below are accurate, it's Spamhaus' way of trying to force people not to patronize Internet service providers that are used by spammers. Here's a discussion we had about blacklists in 2002 and 2003:

Devost <devost () terrorism com> To: declan () well com Declan, Hope all is well. Thought your Politech readers might be interested in the following account of the Terrorism Research Center being blocked by SpamHaus because we have an IP address in the same subnet as an organization that engaged in direct mailings for Staples. Rather than block the suspect IP address, SpamHaus is blocking the whole subnet. As a result, an organization that has been on the internet for over 10 years (with zero spam complaints) and on the same static IP address for over 5 years gets listed as a spammer causing us tremendous harm to our business operations. http://blog.devost.net/2007/01/28/spamhaus-irresponsible-net-citizens/ This seems to be a very bad trend as those that have established the trust of the community no abuse that trust through laziness and arrogance.
