Why does it matter? If a customer isn't going to run a clean system, why
would you want them on your network? Commodity customers are quick
shutoffs, while businesses often have valid contacts to work with to
resolve the issue without a full cutoff.
If they go to the competition, it's one less problem for me to deal with
in the future (as repeat offenses are not uncommon). MOST of the
customers I suspend service due to bots/spam/etc are happy with the
service (once they realize the pretty locks on their web browser don't
secure their communications from infections).
