A Retraction
Ez Web Hosting have proven themselves to be the least irresponsible link in the not-actually-spam chain, and have stopped using SPEWS to bounce incoming mail, going back to relying on the excellent SpamAssassin.
Which is good. Using SPEWS to filter incoming mail throws out the good with the bad - a lot of good, since SPEWS often lists thousands of IP addresses where there are only a handful of spammers. SpamAssassin, on the other hand, simply marks messages that look like spam (and it's almost always right) and passes everything along to you. Any halfway-decent mail client can then sort the good from the bad for you - without throwing away false positives. And SpamAssassin gives a much lower rate of false positives than SPEWS. It gives you the baby and the bathwater, with the bathwater neatly labeled so you can't miss it.

Yep. Though I'll probably be closing my account with them anyway, now that I have both a dedicated web server and a real working ADSL connection. (Just set up my own mail server at home.)
