Well even though they may not be required, in my last two ISP's I worked for, the average time that logs were kept were for 6 months to a year. (a year being new average.)
Mostly because they also have to do internal abuse investigations as well as legal requests.
The system is not perfect, but it catches 99%.
The comment below is from Matt at SORBS:
"http://www.dnswl.org/ might be what you're looking for. I fully support
this project, particularly for people wanting to use SORBS and are
concerned about major ISPs getting listed for smart hosting the
*occasional* spam.

I would say do the same thing.
What really should happen is that SORBS should use this list, instead of making eveyone else do it.
Currently if you get listed, there is a good chance you will never get off with out "paying", and I don't know many companies that could start that practice.

I hope Spam cop stays good now that it is owned by CISCO. Sherman
