Likely both. I have been privy to some google / gmail mail server admin correspondence, they have been working on improving their outbound filtering (for the last 2 years?) and seem to have made a dent, but by no means have they stopped emitting spam. I suspect most DNSbls that use spam traps, don't bother telling the ISP about the abuse _before_ listing the IP, as by the time the ISP's abuse desk gets around to reading & acting on the e-mail, the spam run to thousands? millions? has already completed. (Most using DNSbls as part of their spam control, are hoping the DNSbl sees the spam before it gets to their server.)
