If you get spam from them just blackhole the /19 in your MTA. There is nice spam filters ;) For the de-peer i think it's up to any compagny. You can't tell people to de-peer just because you get some garbage from these guys.
Fair enough. Every company has to decide themselves. But I can recommend to de-peer with them.
Consider this: ISP's start to spam with their powerful resources. F�rst & Co with their limited resources (spamming over channel bundled ISDN lines) are pain in the ass enough, right? If an abusive ISP starts spamming, they easily can flood whole Switzerland. So I'd rather think to stop it at the beginning.
The advertising industry in Switzerland has a self-regulation authority called 'Lauterkeitskommission' which punishes black sheeps. Why not something similar in the telecommunications industry?
Finally, it makes the abuse desk obsolete. No spamming ISP can tell it's customers not to spam. The ISP will loose it's moral authority, right?
So you have to decide yourselves whether you want to keep up peering relation (means to support them) with a spamming ISP or not.
