We're seeing a decent chunk of spam coming from an unallocated block of address space.

Fear not, this will end when we run out of IPv4 space not too many months down the road :) I admit to remaining confused as to why we still keep seeing providers who fail to do basic due-diligence like BCP38 filtering of packets, or asking a new BGP peer what they expect to announce and then filter based on that. I mean, come on guys - sure they may be 6 cents a meg cheaper, but do you really want to buy connectivity from a provider that can't run their network in a proper fashion? Don't answer that. ;)
