 Why whould they start to care about their RR zones?

There are six reasons:
1) it helps them reduce spam

No.  It helps *you* reduce spam.  It doesn't help them reduce spam at all.

But I agree, it might be worth it.

Of course there's a little dirty secret probably at work here. A good number of those ISPs would probably love it that their users can't run mail servers.

But it's going to take a draconian decision from AOL or several other ISPs to make it happen. So far the ISPs that have tried RR blocking have all backed off almost immediately.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
