Stopping any kind of spammer from using their service should be something that any good host strives to do. Spamming from a shared host can affect others on that server if it gets blacklisted. If the spammer is a customer then that account should be closed. If the problem is a compromised server, they should be eager to hunt it down. Spamming is not the only problem a compromised server can cause.

The hosts tend to have tons ot scrapers, spybots and proxy servers which can get you hijecked in Google or worse so the hosting companies with the most offenders are now being locked out on my server and quite a bit of the nonsense has diminished greately. Try it, you'll sleep better at night ;) Go ahead and tell us who it is as I block entire webhosts all the time and if it’s someone new, I’d block them in a heartbeat.

If every person who was referrer spammed through from their machines complained and had to be null-routed, just think of all the work that would require. If this is the best a host that actually understands web spam is a problem can do, the internet is just going to continue to degrade into garbage. Might as well announce the name so spammers know where to sign up for spam complaint proof hosting. I hope they don’t actually think that is dealing with the problem.
