Unfortunately, that includes Spamhaus.

It's a bit sad to see how many companies will blindly support such entities because they've "heard" that they somehow help fight spam. As someone who's had issues with them because of their badly configured hosts and shady practices (e.g. using domains previously used by mail providers as "spam honeypots", meaning anyone who emails someone with an old address can be banned [all content mailed there is considered spam, regardless of what it actually is]), I am disappointed (yes, looking at you cloudflare).
