A question for the ISP community in general, with relevant company names
removed.

A domain hosting company offers a service to paying clients, whereby any
email sent to u s e r n a m e @ c l i e n t - d o m a i n . c o m . a u is forwarded through to
u s e r n a m e @ i s p . c o m . a u

Said company has a large number of clients, who forward to a
particular ISP.

ISP.com.au's mail servers notice that over half the mail coming from
the hosting company's MX servers is SPAM, and blacklist said servers.
Those servers aren't originating the spam as such, but they are relaying
it.

Does the domain hosting company have any responsibility to not relay
spam? After all, their clients are paying for all the email to be
forwarded.

Does the ISP have to put up with said spam, instead of just blacklisting
the servers, and suggesting that affected clients change domain hosting
company?

prk.
