  Hi,

I too think it's a good idea, but it can have huge pitfalls.  Let's  
just look at this particular e-mail..

>> NNTP-Posting-Host: 202.79.62.16

that IP points to proxy6.wlink.com.np, and if someone puts that IP  
address in the blacklist, then web based e-mails from many users of  
the wlink  won't reach valid mail servers. and since this is http e- 
mail posting, you can't even re-direct port 25 traffic to a scrubber.

but, since this is a pretty big issue for ISPs, as their entire  
blocks may get listed on RBLs, they do need to do something.

I think ISPAN would rather be better to do huge publicity telling  
people that if you send unwanted e-mails to other people and ISPs  
receive complain then their internet account will be cancelled and  
they'll be blacklisted. This will discourage general people from  
doing that.  And if you are giving service to a cyber cafe, then tell  
the cyber owner that they may be blacklisted if they don't co-operate.
