If the ISP wants to use SMTP AUTH or other mechanisms to lower abuse,

No, it makes perfect sense but that is the one thing I fear we'll have
to agree to disagree on.
I fear you will have to agree to disagree with just about anyone who
runs a large mail server.
The solution presented here is not only not a solution, it is also a
problem.
Okay, then I suppose I don't understand the problem. How exactly do
you
mean?
1) It is not a solution because it does not stop spam. In fact, it
is easier to send spam through VZ's mail servers than just about
anyone else's.
2) It is a problem because they do not allow things almost every
other ISP does - things which are "standard" and things for which the
anti-spam community has been fighting to put in place for many years.
