They are raising their defenses, fine, but how about policing their own
nets, also?

They seem to be saying their policy is "we blacklist the world, our clients
will tell us what to whitelist"
I say the same: "we block not the world (not yet!) only ATT (and other)
subscriber nets as spammers, and they must ask to be whitelisted"
If all the BIG ISP's and network access operators start doing aggressive
blocking, then we IMGate BOFH's could jump on the bandwagon much more easily.
Things are looking up.
