You are using the word "afford" in this context as a blanket excuse
for incompetence and/or willful anti-social negligence.

What is the cost of adding a "cleanup fee" clause to your standard
service contracts, and why are you so abysmally bad at business that
you cannot afford to do that?

What is the cost of filtering outbound port 25 by default, and why are
you so abysmally bad at business that you cannot afford to do that?

The data is in, and applying one or both of these simple measures to
any given network has been demonstrated to reduce the need to pay
humans to staff an "abuse desk" dramatically.

Are you also unable to "afford" to implement BCP 38?
