Why does my ESP/ISP allow spam?
Most ESPs and ISPs have policies in place that prevent their users from sending spam, however not all of these policies are correctly enforced. Many times spam activity continues because there are no complaints being sent to an ESPs or ISP, or these complaints are being ignored by the abuse desk staff.
If your ESP or ISP is supporting spam by playing ignorant, you may begin to have issues with your own email. Moving to a new provider that has a strong anti-spam policy is your best option.

This problem can be rampant with smaller ESPs and as you suggest switching to a more respectable provider will help this. It should also be noted that some spam comes through the unintentional acceptance of the receiver. Be careful signing up for websites or other online offers because often you are also signing up for opt-in spam-like email through there Terms of Service agreement. Everyone needs to be careful and better informed these days.
