[anti-abuse-wg] Spam FAQs need revision, was 2011-06 New Policy

I don't remember that incident - but yes, you don't own the larger
netblock that was filtered.

I, my filters or my team don't make a habit of filtering covering
CIDRs unless there's massive amounts of spam spread across multiple
subnets in there.

And when that happens, I do like to talk to the ISP and ensure that
they address those issues before I relax any filters.
