today Microsoft is the worse. It blacklists your ip from unsuspecting customers using outlook, live.com, etc.. and there is no way to recover from it without becoming yourself a customer. it's vicious because the users of their products are mostly businesses and they are acting as a gateway for doing business with them.
Definitely annoying. But how much is this anti-competitive business practices, and how much is this "raising the bar for the bad folks". Unfortunately, the latter inevitably adds burden to good folks too.
