After all, there's a reason they're on the lists - because their servers have been used for the dissemination of spam. I would say that they're as much, if not more, to blame for this as ntl is.

As for the first comment, I have suggested that the senders affected contact their ISPs, and I know that one of them is doing so. I can't see that a complaint from some third party with no connection to the ISP is likely to have any effect.
As for the second comment, I also read somewhere that it may not be the mail host itself which is blacklisted, but some intermediate relay which the email is routed through. Certainly I have heard of one instance where email from a particular ISP was getting through to NTL users in one part of the country but not another - because a different relay was involved. That would seem to add another layer of opacity to the problem. There's a recent post about this on one of the NTL discussion forums (either cm or stb - can't remember which).
