Yeah, I would totally agree.. I assume they get a large number of complaints sent to 
them but some of the newsgroup posting I read with their responses to complaints 
didn't seem like they were doing much about it or even cared.. Basically comments 
like, "Nothing we can do about it" and "We have no way to monitor for it".

Im sorry but I am in the security business and do lots of IDS work and I just don't 
buy comments like this. I don't understand why ISPs can't put snort 
boxes(opensource/free) in their egress points somewhere to catch those trying to make 
x # of SMTP connections.. The average joe doesn't send messages to 1000's at a time 
and if they do they can weed out the legit people and shut down the bad ones. Or at 
least see them when we do :).
