Even if this were on-topic, don't you think it would a good idea to
make at least a cursory attempt to get your facts straight? Spamhaus
is located in the UK, I personally know multiple Spamhaus volunteers
who spend vast amounts of time resarching their blacklist entries,
and they put large dossiers on their web site to document them.
ObOperations: Spamhaus publishes a drop list of IP ranges intended for
your router that I heartily recommend. It is much smaller than their
mail blacklist, chosen to include only network ranges with no
socically redeeming value at all.
R's,
