In theory, the provider will get a nice e-mail before they're blocked...
if someone's trying to pull a fast one, the ISP will be able to look at
that and determine whether or not it's legitimate.
Now, if the provider doesn't respond, they might get a little
blacklisted... but is that necessarily bad, given the previous check?
