I'm not sure who you're answering or agreeing with, but my point is still that 90% of everybody blocked has no clue whatever about what to do about it, and esp. the people with infected systems. A standard channel *to* an ISP for this kind of technical issue - either the ISP notifying the spammer that their machine needs to be cleaned before they'll be allowed back online, or between ISP, would do something useful.
You confuse things. Either talk about RR (= ISP) or Bluehost (= Hosting Provider). *You cannot mix both.* Users on ISP networks are blocked by most mailservers for direct mail delivery, anyway. They have to use the smarthost of their ISP. That smarthost is supposed to make sure that the amount of spam originating from it is as small as possible. If they do that they are very unlikely to get on any list. If they do that they also care about getting on whitelists. If they don't do that you better look for another provider or other means to send out your mail. Of course, if you don't care either then you get what you paid for.
